PPP conversion factor, GDP PA.NUS.PPP

Overview
Uganda's ppp conversion factor stood at 1,221.56 in 2025, a decline of +22.74 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1,221.56 by 2025. Uganda ranked 15th globally.
Uganda’s purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion factor rose from 190.25 in 1990 to 1,221.56 in 2025, placing the country 15th globally and reflecting a sustained tightening of the gap between domestic and international price levels over 36 years. The all‑time peak of 1,258.26 recorded in 2019 marked the highest relative purchasing power, while the 1990 trough of 190.25 underscores the dramatic structural changes in the Ugandan economy since the early 1990s. Compared with peers, Uganda’s factor remains below Mongolia’s 1,293.60 and Cambodia’s 1,306.18 but above the Democratic Republic of Congo’s 1,029.78, indicating a middle‑range position among similarly ranked economies. The upward trajectory suggests continued improvements in income‑adjusted consumption, yet future shifts in exchange‑rate volatility, commodity price shocks, or fiscal policy could alter the path, potentially moderating the rate of increase.
