Kuwait

7. Kuwait ($69,670)
Kuwait, a country with a population of 4 million people, bucked the trend of other oil-driven economies faced a rather slower growth in 2016 because to a drop in oil prices and production, according to the IMF, largely because Kuwait saw growth in non-oil areas.

Brunei

Though Brunei’s GDP growth reduced in 2016, the country actually came out and faired better than expected, according to the IMF. The well to do country, which is made up of just over 400,000 people, has seen success in adjusting and focusing to downturns in the oil market, despite it being one of the master export of Brunei. Almost 90% of Brunei’s revenue came from oil and gas, in 2014, according to the latest figure from the IMF.
