GDP at Purchasing Power Parity

PPP-adjusted GDP provides a dramatically different picture of global economic power than nominal GDP. China's economy is substantially larger than America's in PPP terms — exceeding $35 trillion — because domestic purchasing power in China is much greater than dollar-denominated figures suggest. India ranks third, ahead of Japan and Germany, reflecting the reality that India's enormous domestic economy is severely understated by nominal GDP.

PPP data is calculated by the International Comparison Program (ICP), which surveys prices of thousands of goods across countries. These surveys are resource-intensive and conducted every few years, so PPP figures carry more uncertainty than nominal GDP. PPP is most useful for comparing living standards and economic size; nominal GDP is better for measuring international purchasing power (e.g., buying imports, servicing dollar-denominated debt).
