Currency clarification
Help · 19 Jan 2026, 14:03 · 4

Hello,

Anyone who knows whether the dataset uses the same currency (USD) or does each country has their own currency? Clarification on this is appreciated.

Hi @Silasjimmy, take a look at VariableDefinitions.csv for the definition of each field. You may see in the file that money-related fields are represented in "local currency".

Thanks @Serhii

subway surfers I checked VariableDefinitions.csv as you suggested and can confirm that the money-related fields are indeed listed as being in local currency, not USD. That answers my question.

Hello, what about personal_income ? there is no indication for currency, should we assume it is local ?
