DEFINITION
GDP at purchaser's prices is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Dollar figures for GDP are converted from domestic currencies using single year official exchange rates. For a few countries where the official exchange rate does not reflect the rate effectively applied to actual foreign exchange transactions, an alternative conversion factor is used. Per capita figures expressed per 1 population

Easy too use, pretty much updated, relevant statistcs, not for specialists, very useful for most people. Great news about Qatar; bad for the US, where the inequality is growing but everything else is not.

What is the methodology for the "weighted average"?
If total GDP (2006) is $48.385B and population (2006) 6.517B the simple per capita average is $7,424.
How do you arrive at $9,875 ?

He was referring to Yugoslavia's absence from the statistics.

Your fact "FACTOID # 3: The eight most developed countries all speak Germanic languages."
I didn't know that Japanese is a Germanic language.
Lulu 10th August 2010
These statistics are old and so the most updated. The years are from 2000 to 2006. Since then the fortunes of the countries have changed. The updated one should be in 2009.

To Filip, Yugoslavia is located in Europe and borders Bulgaria, Croatia, Albania, Macedonia, Romania, and Hungary. It has separated into Serbia and Montenegro, which are both separate countries. Also, the united nations owned region of Kosovo.

Taiwan? small province
David Ahn 23rd April 2010
Is ROK not considered a country in this website? ROK did not suddenly dissapear in the 70's or 80's.
Rog 21st April 2010
I suspect these stats are now somewhat out of date post credit crisis. Two countries in particular stand out....#3 Iceland and #4 Ireland ...aren't these countries virtually bankrupt!
T. Tsao 21st April 2010
Funny to fail to trace the DGP statistics, per capita or sum, of Taiwan, the Republic of China. How come? It is one of the four dragons in Asia. Without its data, the comparison among the four countries means less.

Low population, more wealth is distributed.

Excellent and very wide range of data coverage. In most cases such as GDP, GDP (PPP), education data need updating.

I like to use this website especially to help my daughter with her homework. Your statistics should be a little more updated though. I do find it quite aggrivating when they ask for the present year, and the most recent year you have is four years ago.

How do I find

The figure for Bermuda seems very wrong. The New York Times website, from which I linked to this website, gives it as $69,900.

Can you believe that Luxemburg makes $90,000 a year! If i had that much money, I would buy a monkey!
Keith 16th May 2009
Great data, but a bit hard to navigate.
I found this site to have easier navigation, and it included economic analysis as well as stats.
However it has less data and is still in beta. It is on EconomyWatch.com, called the Economic Statistics Database.
Here is the link: http://www.economywatch.com/economic-statistics/
Keith 16th May 2009
Excellent depth of data, but I do find Nationmaster a bit hard to use.
A new service in beta that has less data, but is easier to use and has economic analysis together with the data points, can be found here:
