Maps - GDP & Wealth

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is commonly used as an indicator of the economic health of a country, as well as to gauge a country's standard of living and also its productivity.

This map depicts the pictorial view of the countries of the world based on their Gross Domestic Product and their comparative currency exchange rates. It basically indicates a person’s international purchasing power based on where they live and where they want to spend their money. For some, the money will gain value when they move. But others will see their money devaluate as they take it out of their own countries.

Wealth, or GDP, is highest in Luxembourg, Norway, and Switzerland. It is lowest in Ethiopia, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
