Common questions

What is GDP per capita?

A country's gross domestic product — the total value of goods and services it produces — divided by its population. It is a standard measure of average economic prosperity.

What does PPP mean?

Purchasing power parity adjusts for differences in the cost of living between countries, so a dollar buys a comparable basket of goods everywhere.
