GDP per capita
by country
Economic output per person at current market exchange rates. The table keeps each country's reported year visible so stale and current observations are not treated as equivalent.
Before comparing
Important limits
Exchange-rate moves and inflation can change this measure even when real living standards barely move. It is not household income and says nothing about how output is distributed.

Source definition
GDP per capita (current US$)
Gross domestic product is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period. It can be measured in three different ways: using either the expenditure approach, the income approach, or the production approach. The core indicator has been divided by the general population to achieve a per capita estimate.This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.
