The GDP of PPP is a clearer image of international economies by adjusting the cost of living and real purchasing power.

This classification highlights that the Asian GDP PPP is not only one of the richest economies, but also from the emerging countries that move future growth.

The GDP GPP, or GDP based on purchasing power is an economic scale used to compare living and production levels between countries, and takes into account the differences in the cost of goods and services, which provides a clearer vision of the true purchasing power, and is measured in international dollars, which reflects the equivalent value of the US dollar in the basis year.

Asia contributes to more than 40% of global GDP “equivalent purchasing power”, making it the largest economic center in the world, according to the International Monetary Fund database.
