Gross National Product per capita figures for OECD countries are not available from the OECD. For most OECD countries, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures are closely aligned to GNP and are the preferred choice for statistical purposes. In 2008, four out of the OECD's thirty member countries had a GDP per capita in US dollars that exceeded Ireland's: namely Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and Luxembourg. A table of the GDP per capita in US dollars for OECD countries for 2008 is below.
