Average Income in Russia

The World Bank defines as low the annual per capita earnings of $825-3,255, and high average incomes vary from $3,255 to $10,066. Others are high income countries.

Not a single former Soviet republic is a high income country. At the same time, Estonia ($7,080 per capita income), Latvia ($5,580), Lithuania (5,740), Armenia ($1,060), Azerbaijan ($940), Belarus ($2,140), Georgia ($1,060), Kazakhstan ($2,250) and Ukraine ($1,270) are ranking amongst high average income countries together with Russia.

Kyrgyzstan ($400), Moldova ($720), Tajikistan ($280) and Uzbekistan ($450) are low income countries. World Bank countries attributed Turkmenistan to the same group, although the report does not give income statistics from that country.

An average world per capita income made $6,329 in 2004, the report says.
