China Tops Purchasing Power Rankings; Asia-Pacific Leads in Economic Productivity

Purchasing power parity (PPP) measures the relative value of currencies and economic productivity between countries. The top country by PPP is China with over $34 trillion.

The Asia-Pacific region has the highest GDP (PPP) at $84.82 trillion. The Pacific Islands and Caribbean have the lowest at $314 billion.

Supply chain disruptions caused by conflicts impact companies like Alibaba, Tesla, and Tesco that rely on shipping. This can drive inflation up.

The Netherlands, Malaysia, Philippines, Nigeria, and Bangladesh round out the bottom 5 countries on the list of the top 30 countries by purchasing power parity.

The US remains the undisputed leader in private wealth creation and accumulation, with $67 trillion in liquid investable wealth. However, China leads by GDP (PPP).
