PPP conversion factor, GDP PA.NUS.PPP

Overview
Eswatini's ppp conversion factor stood at 6.08 in 2025, a rise of +0.01 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 6.08 by 2025. Eswatini ranked 97th globally.
Eswatini’s purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion factor rose dramatically from 1.15 in 1990 to 6.08 in 2025, placing the kingdom at rank 97 globally and reflecting a 428 percent increase over 36 years. The factor peaked at 6.16 in 2018 before a modest decline, suggesting that the rapid gains of the early 2000s have largely been sustained rather than accelerated. Compared with regional peers, Eswatini’s 2025 figure of 6.08 is slightly below the Faroe Islands’ 6.10 and Egypt’s 6.32, yet above Lesotho’s 5.92, indicating a relatively strong conversion rate within Southern Africa. The steep upward trajectory since the 1990 trough aligns with broader structural reforms and gradual diversification of the economy, although the recent plateau hints at diminishing marginal returns from existing policies. Continued investment in productivity‑enhancing sectors and deeper integration into regional value chains could revive the upward momentum and push the PPP conversion factor beyond its 2018 high.
