Indicator 8.1.1: Annual growth rate of real GDP per capita

This indicator measures the annual growth rate of real GDP per capita.

GDP data for this indicator is calculated using 2017 chained Canadian dollars as opposed to constant US dollars at 2015 prices as stated in the global metadata.

Real GDP per capita in time t = Real GDP in time t / total population in time t

Annual growth rate of real GPD per capita (in %) = (((Real GDP per capita at time t) - (Real GDP per capita at time t-1)) / (Real GDP per capita at time t-1)) × 100
