How to Read This Country Page
Three boundaries keep wage and price comparisons from being misread.
- Wage basis
- The annual wage is expressed in USD PPP at constant 2025 prices. It is an average, not a median wage, local-currency amount, or take-home figure.
- Years stay separate
- The latest wage year and the price year do not have to match. Price controls read only 2022, 2023, or 2024 and never substitute another year.
- Price benchmark
- 100 represents the United States price level. A value of 120 is reported here as 20 index points above that benchmark.
Data Coverage and Limits
