(b) From all the figures obtained and calculated above which year would you consider as the best among these four years using GDP per capita.
Tip
Please note that GDP (at current USD) is nominal GDP while GDP (at constant 2011 USD) is real GDP and 2011 is the base year. However, if you can't find GDP (at constant 2011 USD) then use GDP (at constant 2010 USD) . These figures are available on different websites such as world bank, trading economics among others. You are not expected to calculate these two figures but obtain what's already in the data bank out there.
