About the Indicators
GDP per capita. Gross domestic product divided by midyear population, in current U.S. dollars. GDP is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes, minus subsidies not included in the value of the products.
GNI per capita. Gross national income divided by midyear population, converted to U.S. dollars with the World Bank Atlas method, which smooths short-term exchange-rate fluctuations. GNI equals GDP plus net receipts of primary income from abroad.
Household consumption per capita. Final consumption expenditure of households and non-profit institutions serving households per person, in constant 2015 U.S. dollars: the market value of all goods and services purchased by households, from food and housing to durable goods.
GDP, PPP. Gross domestic product converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GDP as a U.S. dollar has in the United States, which makes economies directly comparable.
