According to the World Bank classification, high-income countries ( English ) are countries in which the nominal GDP per capita exceeds $ 12,056 (according to the criteria of 2017). Gross income is calculated using the Atlas method [ English ] . High-income countries should be distinguished from developed countries, as these classes do not coincide. The term "developed country" is used in the classifications of the IMF and the CIA , and in them per capita income is not a determining criterion. According to the UN classification, some high-income countries, such as GCC countries , are still developing [2] .
The classification object is made by sovereign states and territories with a population of over 30,000 people [3] .

Historical Values of the Criterion
In 1987 prices, the threshold was set at $ 6,000. The criterion was revised taking into account average inflation in the Big Five countries: Great Britain, Germany, USA, France and Japan. Since 2001, the currency zones of Germany and France have entered the eurozone [7] . It is assumed that the real value of the indicator is constant (of course, inflation in large industrial countries reflects only global shocks, but not idiosyncratic shocks of other currency zones) [6] . During the classification, the indicators of countries are rounded to tens, the threshold level to the nearest multiple of five [8] .
The table below shows the dynamics of the criterion since 1987 [6] .
