Economies are currently divided into four income groupings: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high, based on GNI per capita (in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the Atlas method) by the World Bank. Similar groupings had originally been introduced with the World Development Report in the late 1970s, but countries were not classified consistently. “Developing economies” were divided into low income and middle income; OECD membership was used to define “industrial” countries; and other economies were listed as “capital surplus oil exporters” and “centrally planned economies.” https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/378833-how-are-the-income-group-thresholds-determined.
