File talk:GDP per capita (nominal) 2015.png

@Rossenne:

Hello, I see an error on this map. Italy appears as having more than 32.000$ of GDP per capita, while on List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita on any index is under 30.000$. --TechnicianGB (talk) 00:27, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Venezuela assigned wrong colour

Venezuela is assigned the wrong colour description here. According to the IMF Venezuela had an estimated nominal GDP per Capita of $8,493.972 in 2015, yet here it is assigned the colour orange, for GDPs below $8,000. Brazil had a nominal GDP per capita of $8,810.496 in 2015, according to the IMF, and here it was assigned a light red colour, for economies above $8,000. So surely, in order not to appear bias against it, Venezuela should have been given a light red colour rather than the dark orange colour it is currently assigned. I don’t see how using a World Bank figure would be justifiable for Venezuela as I can’t believe their figure is somehow more reliable than the IMF’s estimate. The World Bank does not have some secret source for their data in Venezuela that the IMF could not get their hands on. So, in order to be consistent in comparison with other countries, the IMF figure for Venezuela should be used, surely?

I didn't consider that perhaps the IMF and World Bank data set used to colour this global map was from a year earlier, April 2016 rather than from 2017. Because, in April 2016 the IMF actually estimated a lower nominal GDP per capita of $7,744.746, for the year 2015, for Venezuela. Oh well, stupid me.
