GDP per capita growth (annual %)

This indicator measures the annual percentage increase in the economic output allocated per individual in a given country, adjusted for inflation to reflect constant local currency values. It is derived by dividing the total gross domestic product, which represents the overall economic activity, by the midyear population, thereby providing insights into the average economic well-being of residents. The calculation encompasses the value added by domestic producers, inclusive of taxes on goods and excluding any subsidies, yet does not account for depreciation of assets or the depletion of natural resources. Monitoring this growth rate is crucial for assessing economic health, living standards, and the effectiveness of policies aimed at fostering sustainable development. A positive trend can indicate improvements in productivity and income distribution, while fluctuations may signal underlying economic challenges. Source:
