Reading this correctly. GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power parity. More meaningful than the nominal figure when comparing actual living standards across countries with very different price levels. Figures are in current international $. 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.
