DEFINITION: Purchasing power parity conversion factor is the number of units of a country's currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in the domestic market as a U.S. dollar would buy in the United States. Official exchange rate refers to the exchange rate determined by national authorities or to the rate determined in the legally sanctioned exchange market. It is calculated as an annual average based on monthly averages (local currency units relative to the U.S. dollar). The ratio of the PPP conversion factor to the official exchange rate (also referred to as the national price level) makes it possible to compare the cost of the bundle of goods that make up gross domestic product (GDP) across countries. It tells how many dollars are needed to buy a dollar's worth of goods in the country as compared to the United States.

COMMENTARY     

Andras
30th March 2011 		The definition is wrong.

"DEFINITION: Purchasing power parity conversion factor is the number of units of a country's currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in the domestic market as a U.S. dollar would buy in the United States."

Hungary's conversion factor is 0.61, for example. According to the above definition, I'd need 0.61 Hungarian forints to buy the same amount of goods / services in the domestic market that a USD would buy in the US. But 0.61 forints is worth absolutely nothing --it's less than 1 cent.

The definition should read:

DEFINITION: Purchasing power parity conversion factor is the number of units of ***U.S. dollars*** required to buy the same amount of goods and services in the domestic market as a U.S. dollar would buy in the United States.
