Italy · GDP per Capita · PPP USD

## What this measures

Output per person in Italy, adjusted for what money buys locally.

## Why it matters

The broadest comparable read of living standards and of the tax base a government can draw on.

## How to read it

Slow-moving; the level ranks countries, the trend says whether the gap to richer peers is closing.

## What it does not say

An average — it says nothing about how income is shared.
