Compiled from latest available data. Purchasing-Power Parity (PPP) takes into account price differences between countries to provide a more accurate picture of national wealth. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the value of all goods and services produced in one year. GDP growth is adjusted for inflation. Gross National Product (GNP) is GDP plus payments from abroad from investments, labor and minus similar payments to foreigners. Per-capita GNP is converted to U.S. dollars using average exchange rates.
