[full-text, 32 pages]
This publication presents the final results on estimates of PPPs of currencies of the participating economies in ICP Asia Pacific.
These include estimates of "real" gross domestic product and its major components, namely, household consumption, government consumption, gross capital formation, and net external trade. The estimates of PPPs are more robust in this round through improvements in methodology, data collection, data review, and data processing.
The 2005 International Comparison Program (ICP) is the largest ICP round to date, covering 146 economies that were divided into five geographic regions: Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Commonwealth of Independent States, Latin America, and Western Asia; plus an additional "region" of countries for the regular purchasing power parity (PPP) program managed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Statistical Office of the European Union.
