There are numerous factors that are involved in judging the wealth of
a country. Normally, the wealth is measured in terms of the GDP
(Gross Domestic Product) of the country. But the GDP alone is not
enough, as there are a number of other factors that play a major role in
determining the assets and financial boundaries of a country like
mineral resources, foreign investment, purchasing power parity (PPP),
capacity of importing materials, and many other relevant factors. In
simple words, the GDP can be defined as the combined value of all the
services in a desired area which includes the materials which are
exported or imported. In determining the ranking of a country in the
list of the richest nations, the element of PPP is also very crucial.
The most reliable calculations of the financial assets and PPP are made
the World Bank and The International Monetary Fund. But in reality,
these meticulous calculations are more like estimates that are made
through empirical observation and external analysis of the economy of
the country. In addition, whether a country is rich or not is also
heavily dependent on the life styles and spending power of the citizens.
After having an in detailed idea about the basics, let us take into
consideration top 10 richest countries in the world 2012.

The industrial output, telecom growth, agricultural advancements and manufacturing sectors have all witnessed a transformation in all the levels of their infrastructures. Although the GDP of India is quite low in contrast to the other richest countries in the world, but still the income of this country has made it eligible for the 9th spot.
