The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country is the market value of all the final goods and services produced within a country's borders. For the most part, it is one of the most widely used indicators to measure the size and the performance of a country’s economy. GDP per capita simply divides the GDP by the size of the population. It is a measure of a country's economic output per person and serves as an indicator of the average standard of living and economic well-being of each person. In this instance, the data is adjusted for purchasing power parity.
