GDP per capita

GDP Per capita
The Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) per capita is the total GDP divided by the number of
people in the country.
This data is provided quarterly by the Conference Board of Canada
in deseasonalized form, eliminating the impact of seasonal
variations and making it possible to compare data throughout the
year.
This data is also annualized. Annualizing quarterly data
(multiplying it by four) makes it possible to compare quarterly
performance with the annual result.
In addition, the GDP figures are valued in constant 2002
dollars. This eliminates the fluctuations resulting from inflation
and gives us what is known as “real” data.
