Economic Implications
GDP per capita remains a crucial indicator of national prosperity. Top-ranked countries typically specialize in specific sectors like finance, advanced technology, or energy. For South Korea, sustained growth in semiconductors will be key to climbing higher.
"Smaller nations must prioritize GDP per capita management through industrial restructuring and talent attraction."
