Data notes & caveats
The multiple reflects purchasing-power and market-exchange-rate differences; it is not a growth rate or a measure of household income.
Methodology
The comparison uses GDP per capita, PPP (current international dollars) from World Bank World Development Indicators for 2024. World Bank aggregates and non-sovereign territories are excluded, and the remaining nation rows are ordered descending by the unrounded value.
Source consistency notes
Every row uses the same World Bank indicator, period, sovereign-nation definition and measurement unit.
