Purchasing power parities (PPPs)

The most frequently asked for indicators from the PPP program are included in the following main tables:

 

 GDP per capita in Purchasing Power Standards (PPS)

 

 Comparative price levels

 

 Price convergence between EU Member States

 

These tables are part of the "structural indicators" which are used by the European Commission in the assessment of the progress made towards the Lisbon objectives.

 

GDP per capita in PPS is also used in the allocation of structural funds within the EU. Regions where GDP per capita in PPS is less than 75% of the EU average (taken over a period of three years) are eligible for support from the structural funds.
