How to read this figure
GDP divided by population, in current US dollars converted at market exchange rates (World Bank). A rough prosperity yardstick — it says nothing about distribution, and exchange rates swing it year to year. Do not read it against the wage figures on this site: those are converted at purchasing power parity, which is a different dollar, so the gap between them is partly just the conversion.
