About the indicator

Gross domestic product divided by the mid-year population, in current US dollars. This is the most widely used indicator of the level of economic development. It does not account for price differences between countries — measured by nominal GDP per capita, expensive countries look richer than they do at purchasing power parity — and it says nothing about how income is distributed within a country.

Important: The aggregate for a group of countries is its total GDP divided by its total population, not an average of country values: a country counts in it in proportion to its population and its output.
