Reading this correctly. Gross domestic product at current market prices, converted to US dollars at official exchange rates. This is the number usually meant by 'GDP'. 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.
