Annual growth rate of real GDP per capita
Method of computation
The annual growth rate of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is calculated as follows: Convert annual real GDP in domestic currency at 2015 prices for a country or area to US dollars at 2015 prices using the 2015 exchange rates. Divide the result by the population of the country or area to obtain annual real GDP per capita in constant US dollars at 2015 prices.Calculate the annual growth rate of real GDP per capita in year t+1 using the following formula: 𝐺𝑡+1−𝐺𝑡 𝐺𝑡 ×100, where Gt+1 is the real GDP per capita in 2015 US dollars in year t+1 and Gt is the real GDP per capita in 2015 US dollars in year t.
