GDP per person (annual): NZ data and downloads: definitions
Gross domestic product divided by population, as published by Stats NZ, for years ending March from 1992. The real (chain-volume) measure strips out inflation so years can be compared; real gross national disposable income per person is shown alongside.
GDP per person (annual): NZ data and downloads: comparison limits
These affect how the figures can be compared.
- Average output per person, not income received by a typical household.
- Real values are in chain-volume dollars of Stats NZ's reference year, so they are comparable over time but not with today's dollars.
