Household final consumption expenditure is the market value of all goods and services purchased by households in a given year—excluding purchases of dwellings but including imputed rent for owner-occupied housing—divided by the country's mid-year population. It covers durable goods (such as cars, washing machines, and computers), payments to governments for permits and licenses, and the expenditures of nonprofit institutions serving households, even when these are reported separately. Because it reflects only direct household expenditure (plus imputations such as owner-occupied rent), the measure excludes the value of goods and services provided free of charge by governments, such as public…

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the market value of all final goods and services from a nation in a given year. Countries are sorted by nominal GDP estimates from financial and statistical institutions, which are calculated at market or government official exchange rates. Nominal GDP does not take into account differences in the cost of living in different countries, and the results can vary greatly from one year to another based on fluctuations in the exchange rates of the country's currency. Such fluctuations may change a country's ranking from one year to the next, even though they often make little or no difference in the standard of living of its population. Comparisons of national wea…
