Burundi PPP Conversion Factor
PPP conversion factor, GDP PA.NUS.PPP
Burundi's ppp conversion factor was 908.40 in 2025, ranked 17th globally. This represents a 3.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Burundi's ppp conversion factor stood at 908.40 in 2025, a rise of +32.52 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 908.40 by 2025. Burundi ranked 17th globally.
Burundi’s purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion factor rose from 71.20 in 1990 to 908.40 in 2025, marking a 1,176 % increase over 36 years and positioning the country at rank 17 globally. The all‑time peak of 908.40, recorded in 2025, reflects a gradual appreciation of the local currency’s real purchasing power relative to the U.S. dollar, driven by modest inflation control and incremental growth in export‑oriented sectors. By contrast, the trough of 71.20 in 1990 coincided with a period of political instability and limited integration into the global economy, which suppressed domestic consumption capacity. Compared with peers, Burundi’s factor remains lower than Uganda’s 1,221.56 but exceeds Korea’s 800.24, illustrating a middle‑range trajectory among African economies. The sustained upward movement suggests that continued macro‑economic reforms and diversification of exports could further elevate Burundi’s PPP conversion factor, while any reversal of fiscal discipline or external shocks might dampen the positive trend.
