still no, it’s mostly a measure of how much your economic activities are integrated in financial markets. i could sell you a rock for $10 and then you sell it back to me for $10 and suddenly we grew the economy by $20
I don’t want to have a debate about GDP or GDP per capita.
My point is that everything I’ve heard about the state of the Cuban economy right now makes this graph somewhat difficult to believe, and there’s no source.
Could it be PPP? If they included any health care or rent stuff in that metric it would definitely baloon like crazy (assuming they were looking at North American healthcare and rent costs)
If rent and healthcare are near 0 then it would definitely put PPP on par with the UK and US
It kind of is, especially GDP per capita.

Don’t know the validity, but google provides it as a graph with this as the source. Seems to use world bank data, only up to 2022.
I kinda doubt it because it’s saying GDP/capita is higher than the UK and Canada.

That’d make sense, but nope, nominal GDP.
Damn… How did this happen lol
Increased trade with China?
$600B/11M is about $55k/pop
It includes rent so not really
