Hi,

Your site looks great and potentially quite useful! I'm curious about your data source - it looks as if your source is the CIA World Factbook, but I've looked up Burundi https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/by.html , and it seems the GDP per capita at the CIA site is different from the one displayed on your site at http://www.indexmundi.com/burundi/gdp_per_capita_(ppp).html . Can you clarify whether your information is coming from other sources, or if this is perhaps an error?

Thanks!

Nicole

Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy. I do use the CIA Factbook as one of the sources for GDP per capita (PPP). It looks like the value for Burundi was changed in the latest Factbook update, so the value in IndexMundi is currently out of sync. I'll fix the problem in my next update.
