Bangladesh PPP Conversion Factor
PPP conversion factor, GDP PA.NUS.PPP
Bangladesh's ppp conversion factor was 29.45 in 2025, ranked 64th globally. This represents a 1.4% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Bangladesh's ppp conversion factor stood at 29.45 in 2025, a decline of +0.42 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 29.45 by 2025. Bangladesh ranked 64th globally.
Bangladesh’s purchasing‑power‑parity (PPP) conversion factor has risen sharply over the 36‑year series, climbing from a trough of 13.22 in 1993 to an all‑time peak of 29.88 in 2024 and reaching 29.45 in 2025, placing the country 64th globally. The upward trajectory reflects sustained improvements in price level differentials relative to the United States dollar, driven by rising domestic productivity and gradual inflation convergence. Compared with peers of similar rank, the Russian Federation records a higher conversion factor of 30.47, while the Kyrgyz Republic stands at 29.04, indicating Bangladesh is closing the gap with more advanced transition economies. The early 1990s low point coincided with structural adjustments and limited export diversification, whereas the recent peak aligns with expanded manufacturing output and remittance inflows. If current reforms in energy efficiency and labor market flexibility continue, the PPP conversion factor is likely to edge higher, reinforcing Bangladesh’s purchasing power and its integration into global value chains.
