GDP (current US$)¶
Indicator id: gdp_current_usd · Unit: current US$ · Coverage: 1960-2024
Gross domestic product at purchaser's prices, the sum of gross value added by all resident producers, converted to current US dollars using single-year official exchange rates.
Sources¶
- World Bank (preferred) -- dataset
WDI, codeNY.GDP.MKTP.CD(https://data.worldbank.org) - International Monetary Fund -- dataset
WEO:NGDPD, codeNGDPD(https://www.imf.org)
Reconciliation note: IMF WEO's NGDPD (GDP, current prices, US dollar) and the World Bank's NY.GDP.MKTP.CD both ultimately draw on the same Nepal Rastra Bank/CBS national accounts converted at market exchange rates, and match to within rounding in every overlapping year (verified live: both $24,360,801,xxx for 2015). WEO additionally projects out to 2031, so a gap in those later years reflects the Bank not yet having an actual for that year, not a measurement disagreement.
Caveats¶
Current (nominal) US$, not inflation- or PPP-adjusted; year-on-year moves partly reflect exchange-rate swings, not just real growth.
