Rankings

Definition

GDP converted to current international dollars with purchasing power parity (PPP) rates, in millions. One international dollar buys in a country what a US dollar buys in the United States. World Bank series built on the International Comparison Program (ICP).

Adjusts for price levels, unlike gdp_usd, which uses market exchange rates. The whole series is rebased when a new ICP round is published, so past values can change a lot.
