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

Consumer price coverage is presently limited to the 2024 reference year only. Prior years contain no usable category-level indices for comparative price analysis.
Available data strictly adheres to reported values without interpolation for missing periods. Each snapshot field corresponds exclusively to its designated year of observation.
