PPP, you're using PPP. Why?

[@user-vf3cb7vk8z]

Prashant No, the US has the highest nominal by far. As the Chinese economy develops more their PPP will fall and nominal will rise.

[@user-vf3cb7vk8z]

Prashant PPP is how much your money will buy inside the country and nominal is how much your money will buy internationally. For PPP it tends to be drastically higher for developing economies and for nominal it tends to be higher for developed economies.

So as China's growth rate slows their PPP will start to even out with the nominal.
