Again no. Gdp is always calculated in PPP terms in national currency not some foreign currency. It is then converted to dollar for adjustment.

When we talk about per capita income in dollar terms, then we need to refer to the GDP number in dollar terms as well.
Read the Dawn link which I provided, and how it talks about GDP increase from $263 billion in 2020 to $296 billion in 2021 a $33 billion increase and therefore the per capita income increased from $1,361 in 2020 to $1,543 in 2021.
Note that Pakistan's GDP in dollar terms was estimated to be $320 billion something in 2018(just divide the GDP in rupees term by the dollar rate of that time so 34618/106= $326 billion) and it downsized to $260 billion something automatically after the huge devaluation despite the fact that it increased in rupees terms. Again you can calculate the GDP size by using the same formula above. Just for example GDP for 2021 was calculated like this : 47000(total GDP size in rupees) / 158(dollar rate at the time) = 297 which is what mentioned by the Dawn link I provided.
