PPP conversion factor, GDP PA.NUS.PPP

Overview
Ecuador's ppp conversion factor stood at 0.41 in 2025, a decline of +0.02 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.41 by 2025. Ecuador ranked 191st globally.
Ecuador’s purchasing‑power‑parity (PPP) conversion factor has risen from 0.30 in 1990 to 0.41 in 2025, placing the country at rank 191 globally. The indicator reached its all‑time high of 0.55 in 2012, reflecting a period of strong export growth and relative price stability, before falling to a trough of 0.24 in 2000 amid the regional debt crisis and currency devaluation. Over the 36‑year coverage, the upward trajectory since the early 2000s suggests a gradual convergence toward the levels of its peers; El Salvador recorded a comparable factor of 0.42 in 2025, while Montenegro stood at 0.37. The modest but persistent increase indicates improving domestic purchasing power relative to international prices, yet the gap with higher‑ranked economies remains sizable. Continued diversification of exports and fiscal consolidation could sustain the positive trend, potentially narrowing the disparity with regional counterparts in the coming decade.
