How this figure is calculated
Households and NPISHs Final consumption expenditure (constant LCU) divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Households and NPISHs Final consumption expenditure (constant LCU) ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Households and NPISHs Final consumption expenditure Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
