What the data says about Trinidad and Tobago
Trinidad and Tobago sits in the high-income bracket but outside the OECD's harmonized reporting network, so its statistics come straight from the World Bank, WHO, and ILO source series rather than a jointly reconciled OECD dataset - still official, but with less cross-checking between agencies than an OECD member gets. Because output and income figures are converted at market exchange rates into current dollars, they can swing with currency movements independent of any real change in living standards, and for a small economy like this one that swing shows up more visibly in the headline numbers than it would for a larger country. The fuller picture comes from comparing Trinidad and Tobago against income-tier peers of a similar size.
Trinidad and Tobago sits in the middle third of GDP/cap (#77 of 214) as a HIC economy with LONG longevity.
Trinidad and Tobago holds 1.4 million people and $25.6 billion GDP (117th) at $18,733 per person - mid GDP/cap band, HIC, LE 73.6 years (121st, LONG). 38 WDI/WHO/ILO cells fill the topic blocks.
