GDP per capita at purchasing power parity in current international dollars from the IMF World Economic Outlook database. The IMF uses its own PPP conversion factors and includes a forecast, so the series serves for comparing the expected level of living, not only the level already reached.
Important: The aggregate for a group is all of its GDP over all of its population. The weight is taken from the World Bank population series: the IMF one is shorter, and the source of the weight barely affects the result.
