Between 2008 and 2021, Argentina's purchasing power parity increased significantly. In 2008, the PPP was approximately 1.65 NCU per U.S. dollars, whereas it reached 43.14 NCU in 2021. In recent years, Argentina has been facing soaring inflation rates and a massive fiscal deficit, leaving the country in a deep economic crisis.
Purchasing power parity indicates the number of units in the national currency (NCU) needed to buy the same amount of goods and services in a given country compared to those needed in the United States. This conversion aims to equalize the purchasing power among countries, by eliminating the differences in prices.
