What is the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)?

Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) is an economic concept that measures the relative purchasing power of different currencies by comparing the prices of a basket of goods and services in different countries. It takes into account the exchange rates and adjusts them to reflect the real purchasing power of each currency. PPP is used to compare living standards and economic development between countries, as it provides a more accurate representation of the actual purchasing power of individuals in different economies.
