Reading this correctly. Nominal GDP divided by midyear population. A rough proxy for average income; it does not account for income distribution. Figures are in current US$. Comparing this series with a different measure of the same concept (for example a nominal figure against a purchasing-power-parity figure) will give misleading results.
