    NB:

    Economic parity or purchasing power parity (PPP) is:

    Number of monetary units required to buy the same product compared with Brussels (per euro).

    The figure provided in the first column (PPP) is the product of multiplying the exchange rate (TX) by the weighting (CC).

    The mathematical formula used to calculate the CC is therefore: PPP (provided by Eurostat) divided by TX = CC.

    The amounts due to staff are calculated by applying the invariable PPP established by this table — not by multiplying each time the CC by the TX of the date of the transaction, since this TX is variable and will produce a different (wrong) PPP.


    (*1)  1 EURO = x units of local currency (USD for Cuba, El Salvador, Ecuador, Liberia, Panama, D.R. Congo and Timor-Leste).

    (*2)  Brussels = 100 %.

    (*3)  Not available because of local instability or unreliable data.

    NB:

    Economic parity or purchasing power parity (PPP) is:

    Number of monetary units required to buy the same product compared with Brussels (per euro).

    The figure provided in the first column (PPP) is the product of multiplying the exchange rate (TX) by the weighting (CC).

    The mathematical formula used to calculate the CC is therefore: PPP (provided by Eurostat) divided by TX = CC.

    The amounts due to staff are calculated by applying the invariable PPP established by this table — not by multiplying each time the CC by the TX of the date of the transaction, since this TX is variable and will produce a different (wrong) PPP.


    (*1)  1 EURO = x units of local currency (USD for Cuba, El Salvador, Ecuador, Liberia, Panama, D.R. Congo and Timor-Leste).

    (*2)  Brussels = 100 %.

    (*3)  Not available because of local instability or unreliable data.
