Financial Architecture aims at sustainability of an Economy. This is done by ensuring a consistent growth rate. GDP is a strong indicator of the growth of an economy. A Higher GDP of an economy reflects a robust growth. This leads to the definition of GDP (per capita). This study focuses on the GDP (per capita) as an indicator of a nation’s prosperity. The ratio of the GDP of an economy to its population is termed as the GDP (per capita). This study considers GDP (per capita) as a function of 17 factors. Further on, out of these 17 factors, 5 of the most statistically significant factors are identified using the Backward Elimination Algorithm. Thus, a statistically significant regression model is designed and the impact of each of the 5 factors on the GDP (per capita) is gauged. It was found that the combination of the aforementioned 5 statistically significant variables could explain 83% of the variance in the GDP (per capita) of the economies. The F statistic increased from 51.13(before applying Backward Elimination Algorithm); to 168.6 (after the application of the Algorithm) and hence, signifying the increase in the overall significance of the model. The authors firmly believe that that this study will form a foundation to the higher level policy making in the future.
