Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, French Polynesia's PPP conversion factor, households and NPISHs Final consumption expenditure (LCU per international $) fell 4.25 on 2020 (from 106.12 to 101.87).

Across the 9 yearly changes before that (2012 to 2020), the average change was −1.5 and a typical year strayed about 0.98 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.04 in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.25 in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is downward, about 1.87 a year. A straight line explains 95% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

The purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion factor is a currency conversion factor and a spatial price deflator. They convert different currencies to a common currency and, in the process of conversion, equalize their purchasing power by eliminating the differences in price levels between countries, thereby allowing volume or output comparisons of gross domestic product (GDP) and its expenditure components. This conversion factor is for households and NPISHs Final consumption expenditure and the base currency is the US dollar.

Limitations: Global PPP estimates provided by ICP are produced by the ICP Global Office and regional implementing agencies, based on data supplied by the national implementing agencies in the participating economies, and in accordance with the methodology recommended by the ICP Technical Advisory Group and approved by the ICP Governing Board. As such, these results are not produced by participating economies as part of their national official statistics.
