Netherlands PPP Conversion Factor
PPP conversion factor, GDP PA.NUS.PPP
Netherlands's ppp conversion factor was 0.72 in 2025, ranked 164th globally. This represents a 1.6% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Netherlands's ppp conversion factor stood at 0.72 in 2025, a decline of +0.01 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.72 by 2025. Netherlands ranked 164th globally.
The Netherlands’ purchasing‑power‑parity (PPP) conversion factor has fallen from an all‑time peak of 0.93 in 2003 to a trough of 0.71 in 2022, before modestly rebounding to 0.72 in 2025, placing it 164th globally. Over the 36‑year series the factor declined steadily, reflecting a relative increase in domestic price levels compared with the United States benchmark used by the World Bank. The latest figure of 0.72 matches that of Ireland and is only marginally above Belgium’s 0.70, underscoring a convergence with other advanced European economies that exhibit similar price differentials. The long‑term downward trajectory suggests that without significant productivity gains or structural price‑level adjustments, the conversion factor is likely to remain near the low‑seven‑tenths range, limiting any further narrowing of the gap with peers.
