Which World Bank income category corresponds to a GNI per capita between $1,045 and $2,074 in 2013?

• A. Low income
• B. Upper middle income
• C. High income
• D. Lower middle income

Answer: (D)

World Bank income categories group economies by GNI per capita. In 2013 the thresholds were: low income up to 1,045; lower middle from 1,046 to 4,125; upper middle from 4,126 to 12,745; high income 12,746 or more. A GNI per capita within 1,045 to 2,074 sits inside the lower middle range, so the corresponding category is lower middle income. The other categories require higher thresholds, so they don’t fit this range.
