purchasing-power parity
System for comparing standards of living between different countries. Comparing the gross domestic product (GDP) of different countries involves first converting them to a common currency (usually US dollars), a conversion which is subject to large fluctuations with variations in exchange rates. Purchasing-power parity aims to overcome this by measuring how much money in the currency of those countries is required to buy a comparable range of goods and services.
