What this measures
Higher economic output per person; lower economic output per person.
Unit: current US$. GDP per capita.
Methodology
Values are World Bank World Development Indicators series NY.GDP.PCAP.CD: GDP divided by midyear population, expressed in current US dollars (not PPP and not inflation-adjusted). Country rows are joined by ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes; regional and income aggregates are excluded. Current-dollar series can move with exchange rates, and a few financial centres can appear high because of multinational profit booking.
