** GDP dollar estimates for all countries are derived
from purchasing power parity (PPP) calculations rather than from
conversions at official currency exchange rates. The PPP method
involves the use of standardized international dollar price weights,
which are applied to the quantities of final goods and services
produced in a given economy. The data derived from the PPP
method provide the best available starting point for comparisons of
economic strength and well-being between countries. The
division of a GDP estimate in domestic currency by the corresponding
PPP estimate in dollars gives the PPP conversion rate. Whereas
PPP estimates for OECD countries are quite reliable, PPP estimates
for developing countries are often rough approximations. Most
of the GDP estimates are based on extrapolation of PPP numbers
published by the UN International Comparison Program (UNICP) and by
Professors Robert Summers and Alan Heston of the University of
Pennsylvania and their colleagues. In contrast, the currency
exchange rate method involves a variety of international and
domestic financial forces that often have little relation to
domestic output. In developing countries with weak currencies the
exchange rate estimate of GDP in dollars is typically one-fourth to
one-half the PPP estimate. Furthermore, exchange rates may suddenly
go up or down by 10% or more because of market forces or official
fiat whereas real output has remained unchanged. On 12 January 1994,
for example, the 14 countries of the African Financial Community
(whose currencies are tied to the French franc) devalued their
currencies by 50%. This move, of course, did not cut the real output
of these countries by half. One important caution: the
proportion of, say, defense expenditures as a percentage of GDP in
local currency accounts may differ substantially from the proportion
when GDP accounts are expressed in PPP terms, as, for example, when
an observer tries to estimate the dollar level of Russian or
Japanese military expenditures. Note: the numbers for GDP and other
economic data can not be chained together from successive
volumes of the Factbook because of changes in the US dollar
measuring rod, revisions of data by statistical agencies, use of new
or different sources of information, and changes in national
statistical methods and practices. |
