The richest countries in the world

[lhorenzoo]

---

Lisod maapil ang Pilipinas kay ang mga pinoys mas unahon pa tan-aw mga soap opera kaysa manikay sikay. Also, Pinoys have the "latino lover" mentality. Ang mga lalake sa Pilipinas, imbes manikay sikay ug negosyo, imbes mag focus sa money-making, love-making or baby-making man hinuon unahon. Unsaon pagpa dato nga unahon man mamroblema sa gugmang gi-atay, ang mga lalake sa pinas kasagaran mga pusoy kay pang chicks man unahon imbes pagpa dato. The filipino puts gugmang gi-atay before anything & everything else. Money-making falls on the way-side as a result of this over-indulgence in romantic real-life soap operas/telenovelas.

is it pinoy men watching too much tele novelas? count me out...its reality man na the philippines will never be a rich country,yes we are rich in natural resources but laing countries ang nagpahimulos especially sa mining industry .

Most of the richest countries have gone through a bloody revolution/civil war. Wala lang, just saying.

WHo says high wage can make a country poor?

[Joseph20102011]

by 2050 we'll achieve already $20,388 income per capita. That already makes us a high income and rich nation.

Well that data is came from Goldman Sachs report on BRIC and N11 where the Philippines belong that in 2050, that per capita income that the Philippines projected to reach would classify as a lower middle income economy and that $20,000 per capita (2007 price) in 2050 has lesser value due to inflationary factors, and according to that report, in order to be classified as a high income economy in 2050, they should have a per capita of $65,000 (2007 price) threshold in 2050, therefore we'll not going to upgrade our country into an high income economy in 2050.

By the way that

As per forecast by HSBC. 16th largest economy in the world and the largest in ASEAN.

That HSBC forecast is unrealistic than the Goldman Sachs once because Indonesia which has a higher population than us and more dynamic economic growth than us should be the first by GDP size in 2050 if current economic growth continues well to 2050 without interruption like global economic depression or World War III.

Dili jud ta kalupig sa laing nasud..

Ang mean reason jud kay corruption and lack of education.. I also consider unequal distribution of wealth.. dri man gud sa Pinas, "ang pobre mosamot ka pobre, ang datu mosamot ka datu" kinsa may maka afford sa quality education, di ba kato ra man mga datu ug dunay kaya?, pero how about those family's nga ang income igo lang sa pagkaon, usahay magkulang pa gani, wla nay budget para sa pag paedukar sa ilang mga anak, uban wala pay mga balay, naa lang sa asiras nag ligid2x...

Unlike other countries that providing service to the people for free... (Education, Hospitalization and etc.)
Kung ipatuman cguro ni ang "Two Child Policy" possible pa cguro nga mo lambo ang Pinas, and also being a responsible parent to our children that we can provide what they needs and rights of the children..

Most of the Filipino Parent's were thinking Children as an Asset, that if they had more children they have more Income to receive, but for me I think it in an opposite way, that If you have more children, you need more income to provide them everything what they needs, educate them as their rights.. My rule is "Never spend more than what you are receiving"..

i think murag late na pud siguro moasenso ang Pilipinas or dugay pa, kay hangtud naa pa nang mga batang palaboy ug kanang mga taw diha sa slum areas, they are still liabilities, daghan pa sila nya mga bata pa, then modako pa gud na sila unless kung iedukar na sila tanan ug tagaan sila sa ilang kinahanglan, tagaan sila ug balay, aron makatabang sila puhon ug ma turn into assets sila, so mas maayo jud gani nga maghimo ug condo type nga building ang gobyerno pareha sa ubang nasud, pero do you think makaafford kaha ang gobyerno buhi ana nila tanan, so as long naa na sila, di jud moelevate atong status unless masolve na dayon nga problemaha kay sige ra ba sila ug anak ug anak, unya mga badlongon ra ba kaayo, sige panulis, pangawat, hugaw2x lang.

1st on the list is Qatar - Qataris have some serious muscle to flex. The Persian Gulf emirate of 1.7 million people ranks as the world’s richest country per capita thanks to a rebound in oil prices and its massive natural gas reserves. Adjusted for purchasing power, Qatar booked an estimated gross domestic product per capita of more than $88,000 for 2010.


Qatar has the third-largest reserves of natural gas in the world, and it has invested heavily in infrastructure to liquefy and export it, as well as to diversify its economy, without overreaching as much as nearby Dubai. Qatar has lured multinational financial firms to the country, as well as satellite campuses of U.S. universities. The government is pouring money into infrastructure, including a deepwater seaport, an airport and a railway network, all with an eye to making the country a better host for businesses and the 2022 World Cup.
