About This Indicator
Definition
Purchasing-power-adjusted current-price economic output per person.
Methodology
PPP conversion factors are derived from the International Comparison Program (ICP), a worldwide statistical partnership coordinated by the World Bank. These factors equalize the purchasing power of different currencies by accounting for price differences of comparable goods and services. The IMF uses ICP benchmark data and extrapolates between benchmark years using relative GDP deflators.
Unit
current international dollars per person (PPP)
