Austria PPP Conversion Factor
PPP conversion factor, GDP PA.NUS.PPP
Austria's ppp conversion factor was 0.69 in 2025, ranked 167th globally. This represents a 2.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Austria's ppp conversion factor stood at 0.69 in 2025, a decline of +0.02 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.69 by 2025. Austria ranked 167th globally.
Austria’s purchasing‑power‑parity (PPP) conversion factor has fallen markedly since the early 1990s, slipping from an all‑time peak of 0.94 in 1994 to a trough of 0.69 in 2022, the same level recorded in the latest 2025 World Bank release (0.69, ranking 167th globally). The decline of roughly 27 percent over 31 years reflects a gradual loss of relative price competitiveness as domestic prices have risen faster than those of many trading partners. By contrast, Germany’s PPP conversion factor stands at 0.70, only marginally higher, while Bosnia and Herzegovina records 0.68, underscoring Austria’s position near the lower end of the European cluster. The 36‑year coverage shows a persistent downward trajectory, with the most pronounced drop occurring after the 1990s expansion of the EU internal market and subsequent inflation differentials. If Austria can curb domestic inflation and improve productivity, the conversion factor may stabilise or modestly improve, moderating the current downward trend.
