GDP, PPP (current international $)

The latest value for GDP, PPP (current international $) in Lesotho was 5,235,832,000 as of 2020. Over the past 30 years, the value for this indicator has fluctuated between 6,336,396,000 in 2015 and 1,383,349,000 in 1990.

Definition: PPP GDP is gross domestic product converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GDP as the U.S. dollar has in the United States.

It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current international dollars. For most economies PPP figures are extrapolated from the 2011 International Comparison Program (ICP) benchmark estimates or imputed using a statistical model based on the 2011 ICP. For 47 high- and upper middle-income economies conversion factors are provided by Eurostat and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
