Map Description
This map portrays for each country the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in international dollars using purchasing power parity (PPP) rates. GDP is the total market value of all final goods and services produced in a country in a given year, equal to total consumer, investment and government spending. An international dollar adjusted for PPP has the same purchasing power over GDP as a U.S. dollar in the United States and buys an equivalent amount of goods or services irrespective of the country. PPP rates provide a standard measure allowing comparisons of real price levels between countries, just as conventional price indexes allow comparison of real values over time. Values are in current dollars and are not adjusted for inflation.
