The list of countries by price level contains shows countries by their price level index. The data has been collected by the World Bank's International Comparison Program since the 1970s and has been available for almost all World Bank member states and some other areas since 1990. The Global price level, as reported by the World Bank, is a way to compare the cost of living between different countries. It's measured using Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs), which help us understand how much money is needed to buy the same things in different places. Price level indexes (PLIs), with the world average set at 100, are calculated by dividing the purchasing power parities (PPPs), where 1 PPP equals 1 US dollar in the US, by the market exchange rates, also equated to 1 US dollar. These ratios are then adjusted to align with the global average, which is standardized at 100. When the PLI exceeds 100, it signifies that the prices in that economy are above the global average. Conversely, a PLI below 100 suggests that the prices are below the world average. ^[1]
