By contrast, almost 30% of developing economies in Africa recorded a per capita GDP of less than $1,000. In most developing economies in the Americas, Asia and Oceania, GDP per capita is greater than $3,000.

Metadonnées

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the total value of goods and services produced within an economy. GDP can be approached in 3 ways: production, income and expenditure. In this subchapter, GDP is presented from the expenditure side. The expenditure approach sums up all spending on final consumption (spending by households on goods and services, government purchases of goods and services), investment (spending by businesses on capital goods and inventories) and exports (net of imports).

All GDP growth is expressed in real terms.
