How many products are included in the basket of goods and services used for the PPP calculation?
The final products list for the 1999 comparison covered around 2,500 consumer goods and services, 34 occupations in government, education and health services, 186 types of equipment goods and 20 construction projects? The large number of price specifications is to enable as many countries as possible to identify goods and services which are representative of their domestic expenditures. However, countries are expected to provide only a relatively small subset of these prices (several hundred in general).
