The Bank of Israel reported last week that Israel’s GDP per capita, ranks Israel 21st in a descending list that includes Israel and the 30 OECD countries.
 
The OECD average was $30,872. The figures are based on the latest estimates by the Central Bureau of Statistics and OECD. Israel’s GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity was $26,051 in 2005.
 
The Bank of Israel adds that the World Economic Outlook published in April 2007 estimates Israel’s PPP-adjusted per capita GDP in 2007, at $31,767, which puts Israel at eighteenth place on the list with the OECD countries. That comparison of per capita GDP shows that Israel is in a similar position to that of several OECD countries, including France ($31,872) and Germany ($32,178), and not very different from the OECD average of $32,098.
