For each country: the purchasing power parity (PPP) for household consumption, how many units of local currency buy the same basket of goods and services as one US dollar does in the US, and the average market exchange rate. Dividing the PPP by the exchange rate gives the country's price level relative to the US.
These affect how the figures can be compared.

The attached CSV is Purchasing power parities and exchange rates (ppp-and-exchange-rates), from OECD, Purchasing power parities and exchange rates. Describe how each measure has changed, naming its unit and period. Treat changes in basis and missing periods as breaks. Distinguish observation from explanation. Limitations: PPPs are benchmarked to periodic international price surveys and estimated in between. Singapore's PPP is available for 2017–2021 only in this table.. Do not infer causation from changes during government terms.
