Khan Academy: Comparing Gdp Among Countries

Curated by ACT

GDP per capita is GDP (Gross National Product) divided by population. Since GDP is measured in a country's currency, in order to compare different countries' GDPs, we need to convert them to a common currency. One way to compare different countries' GDPs is with an exchange rate, the price of one country's currency in terms of another.
