To determine

The percentage change in per capita real GDP between 2018 and 2019.

Concept introduction:

Gross Domestic Product measures the value of goods and services produced by an economy during a particular period generally a year..

Real GDP is the measurement of economic output which considers the effects of inflation or deflation and reports the actual GDP as if the prices were same between two years and it gives a more realistic assessment of growth.

The GDP price deflator is an economic measure of inflation, it converts the output measured at current prices into constant dollar GDP. It reflects the change in the GDP of base year on the basis of change in the price level.

Per capita GDP is nothing but the total GDP of a country divided by its total population; it is the best measurement of the standard of living of any country.
