Preferred term

purchasing power parity  

Definition

  • The theory of purchasing power parity (PPP) explains movements in exchange rates by changes in countries' price levels. It is derived from the “law of one price,” which says that identical goods should sell for the same price in all countries if there are no impediments to international trade.
