The Price Level Index (PLI) shows which economies are the most and least expensive. It corresponds to travelers’ experience of making purchases after converting their currency at market exchange rates. The Price Level Index is the ratio of a country’s PPP divided by its exchange rate to the US dollar. An index over 100 means prices are higher on average than in the US, and one less than 100 means prices are relatively lower.
The most expensive economies are Iceland, Denmark, Switzerland, Norway, and Ireland with indices ranging from 154 to 127. The United States ranked 20th in the world, lower than most other high-income economies, including France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
The range is greater at the other end of the spectrum with more than 40 economies showing a PLI of 40 or below. The cheapest economies are Tajikistan, Ethiopia, Gambia, Kyrgyz Republic, and Bolivia.
The report also added
Twelve economies account for more than two-thirds of the world’s output. Seven of them are high-income economies (United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and, Spain), and five are developing or transitional economies (China, India, Russia, Brazil, and Mexico). The five largest developing economies account for more than 20 percent of global output and over 27 percent of the world expenditures for investment purposes
Measured by GDP per capita, the five richest economies are Luxembourg, Qatar, Norway, Brunei Darussalam, and Kuwait. Collectively, they account for less than 1 percent of the world’s output. Seventeen economies have a GDP per capita of less than $1,000. The world average is approximately $8,900 per capita.

Whatever the measurement stick and the motives are, that Ethiopia came 9th in African econometrix is good news.

I am pretty sure, if CUD and other bandas stop disturbing Ethiopia we could have done it better, but what can we do, we are currently living with so called elites who havent accepted their defeat. The so called CUD, ONLF,OLF and others r disturbing us, they are becoming a pain in the bum, we couldnt settle for a minute. can you imagine where we could be if these start to use their brain?? Anyway, we don have to wait them, if they continue blocking our way, we may need to take the last language which they understand, thats use of force to use the obstacle. Ok Guys, its a good news, and we are happy to hear this. Ethiopia will be second world economy in the coming few years. We need to have stability built on the graveyard of OLF,ONLF,and elderly and devided CUD.

Comment from: Woyane\'s Yugoslavian dream [Visitor]
-This is an outdated and inaccurate report by the world bank. I dislike woyane but our economy is doing much better then this.
-You have to remember that GDP is a poor indicator of wealth. It does not include the "informal market" of which most of africas economic transactions take place in. It also does not include things like housework done by a person and most importantly the expense of food, clothing and shelter by subsistence farmers which most Ethiopians are. GDP also counts the negative things in a rich nation like prisons and environmental degrading output. GDP also does not count the inequality in countries like equatorial Guinea where family owns all the wealth.
- yonas, The exchange rate is the amount of money the country makes in International dollars, The PPP is the purchasing power parity and that the amount of goods that you can buy with a dollar in ethiopia. It is basically the cost of living. In ethiopia the average person earns $170 but he is able to buy $1000 dollars worth of goods because things are so cheap there.
-Ethiopias economy is not 42 billion Purchasing power parity it is 74 billion(2006) going on 80 billion(2007)
- The exchange rate for Ethiopia is 13.3 billion dollars(2006) and it will be 15 billion for this year (2007)
So our GDP for the year of 2006 was 13.3 bl( exchange rate) and 74 bl. (purchasing power parity. Our GDP per person is $1000 (purchasing power parity) and 170 (exchange rate) Our economy is probably growing at about 7% but we do have a population growth rate of 2.5-3% which negates a lot of that growth.
- These stupid figures make us look poorer then we already are and people should ignore them. A better indicator is the human development index and that too should be looked at skeptically. I estimate that if you include the Informal market, The substance farmers uncounted income and other economic activities that dont make it on the official GDP that the average ethiopian lives on about $4,000 dollars(PPP) a year. Remember that our informal market is more then double our official GDP output. Our "real" economic output for the country can easily be 300 billion(PPP).
- In conclusion, GDP does not do a good job of counting wealth. " No one lives on less then a dollar a day" and we are better of economically then most people think. The best way to know about ethiopia is to see what is happening on the ground then these empty figures. I would love to see us improve but with woyanes communist ownership of everything and there ethnic divide and rule i dont have good hope.

Comment from: Woyane's Yugoslavian dream [Visitor]
Yeha, Leave Eritrea alone. They are at least independent of aid and mostly self sufficient and when did they become the measuring stick for everything and what happened to meles's Albania or was it Yugoslavia.
Remember that Ethiopia has 80 million people and being the 9th biggest means nothing. We are still the poorest in Africa per person. That is If you take these figures seriously.
We need to have less children because our growth rate of around 7% is getting eaten up by the pop growth rate of 2.5 to 3%. That would be a 4 to 4.5% growth rate. to slow for development. If you take woyanes bogus rate of 10% it is 7 to 7.5% with the pop growth rate put in, which is good. Countries growing at 10% over 5 years are going through economic revolutions(south Korea, singapore) and that is not happening in mama Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is doing decent but it needs to really improve for us to change the lives of our people.

Here is how I understand the differce between PPP adn PPI
Let us say that you buy one big mac meal in the US for $5. In Ethiopia, let us say that you buy the same big mac for 50 birr. If the exchange rate for $1 is 10 birr, you are buying one big mac for the same price in both Ethiopia and the US. If there is no market failure, i.e. if you can exchange Ethiopian birr for US dollar as you want, the purchasing power of the US dollar and the Ethiopian birr is the same. The exchange rate between the US and Ethiopia is in equilibrium.
The reason that Ethiopia is identified as one of the cheapest economy is that you can buy one big mac in Ethiopia for less than 50 birr, which is less than $5 dollar.
Simply put, PPI (i.e producer price index) is an index measures the average change over time in selling prices received by domestic producers of goods and services. Let us say that we have two producers (a wheat farmer and pasta processor) in the economy. Again, suppose that in 2006, the farmer produced 10 quintals of wheat and sold it for 5000 birr a quintal. The pasta factory produced 10 quintals of pasta and sold it for 1000 birr.
10 quintals*500 birr=5000
10 quintals of past*1000=10,000.
The total will be 15,000 birr.
Now, let us say, in 2007 the price of wheat increased from $500 to 600 birr and that of pasta increased from 1000 to 1200 birr in 2007.
10 quintals*600 birr=6000
10 quintals of past*1200=12,000.
The total will be 18,000 birr.
Now, divide 18,000 by 15,000 and you will get 120%. Therefore, the producer price has increased by 20% in 2007.

Comment from: Tiqour Ambessa [Visitor]
i could swear i saw another report that said our GDP was just $14 billion. Now its $40 billion. who knows, maybe i read something wrong before. But just remember this . Egypt has the same population as us, 80 million people, and they are still poor even with a $353 billion GDP. South africa just has 40 million people, half of our country, and they still have huge problems with $397 billion. We, starting at just $40 billion have a long, long way to go still before we can even be as rich as the south africans or egyptians. a long way to go. Allah bless us, keep us UNITED and give us peace.
[Tiqour Ambessa, I think you are referring to the GDP measured using official exchange rates. The number above is based on Purchasing Power Parity. I am no expert in this area, but you may want to read about PPP here. I am sure we have visitors who know a whole lot about this and look forward to reading them. ]

I have no faith on these numbers. It is always easy to use some model, spit out some numbers and statistics to argue (pro or against) any case. Economics is not a perfect science -- so are the above numbers. They may our nation look like the 9th economically strong country in Africa while the reality on the ground is grim. I wish we are the richest nation on the plant, but the reality is we are at bottom (PPI, PPL, don't mean anything).

this is good news but ethiopia has still a long long way to go.First of all, we need to have a finiancial system with accountability,checks and balances,that is independent of the government.That would next open the way for stock markets to set ground that are functional atleast by african standards.Once we have reliable trustworthy stock markets up and running,the amount of foriegn investment the country can tap into is limiltless,thereby creating jobs,and growing the economy much much better.By the way,east African countries,Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda have an exploding unified stock exchange.perhaps our government needs to find a way to join that exchange.

The realty on the grounde is opposite to what the corrupted world bank officils try to tell us. For a few dollar fro the corrupt Woyane officials, the world bank would say anything.

Dear friends, I recently found out that a lot of cud supporters are going to Ethiopia and heavenly investing on a lot of businesses especially in real estate. So when ever you read unti-Ethiopian successes or when they say Weyane is bad to our country do not trust them. They are doing something behind the seen.The always love to do things unnoticed, because they are selfish.

empty brained woyane followers will not understand pure economics. Go away and love the men who burned the ethiopian flag for decades.

This is nearly perfectly working economy of the world. The nine largest economy? If you take out oil producing, or and sheikdom oil subsidized Arab countries and mineral based Economies, together with the least inflation the total purchasing power of the GNP in real value along with the hospitable climate and crime less society makes Ethiopia the pearl of Africa.
As prophesied, by the prophets, God has removed the curse of Ethiopia and has lifted her up on a pedestal, so high above the plateaus and Ethiopia is almost touching the heavenly bodies.
That is why Satan sent his
messengers of sicily demons in the image of CUD remnants of Derge idolaters of tertiary level intellect to abort the seed of development of the blessed nation. Tried to steal the blessing from above. They tried a loosing battle of anarchy and then tried again to accuse Ethiopia through hired hands like Jefferey of the NY Times and the representatives from NJ, before pulling out the poll in their eyes shamelessly tried to take a speck from Ethiopia's.
Ethiopia blessed by God who wiped away the tears from the peoples eyes. The people that were oppressed of the devil who saw children, men and women perish of hunger by the millions every other decade. God made their enemies to speak in different languages and confused not understand one another. God said to Pharaoh no more, take your hands off my people and "Let my people go free." To the land of milk and honey, where there will not be no more crying and no arms raised upon them shall not succeed. Amen and Amen

Thanks to what we are told to accept. But, if I am excused to raise some skeptical points the classical economics doesn't prove such findings as real development. As some commented and many agree we are not told what data are used to reach this conclusion.We can't believe naively b/c the World Bank said it. The Bank sponsoring bad governance,corruption and human rights abuse alongside with its aid packages has to try to prove things are doing well in Ethiopia too, at least claimimg with the ppl,ppp jurgons. Time will reveal if what we are provided as the christmas gift is actually what is on the ground. PERSONALLY, I don't oppose and support such expert manipulations until I understand the details. But for those who enjoy it congratulations!

9th is not bad. We could have been 42nd, but you know what I will take 9th anytime and been thankfull for it. That is an improvement. It can be doubled in just about 4 to 5 years. 13 billion to 26 bill GDP. If we want to eradicate poverty to 80 to 90 percent, we are talking about over 2 trillion dollars GDP here with population less than 100 million. It can be achieved by hard work and good leadership.

My fellow Ethiopians,
it's a wonderful news to hear this great news that our country is in the right track.Let's give Meles at least a credit one time after all the troubles he had faced with the gangesters of CUD the last two years. It is true that EPRDF and Meles were leading the country in the first couple of years after the fall of Derg, but I think he accomplished so much in the world's stage for our country. If we all care for our economic growth, I think the political instability will take care of itself after time. Just let's work together and have common grounds for the sake of our country's prosperity and well-being. We should be able to recognize that the old philosophy and ploitics is not working now! Let's be one and talk each other for better future.
God bless

For those of you who are not economists the data is highly influenced by Aid. since Ethiopia is the largest aid recipeint in Subsahara Africa this should not surprise you. If you get more aid you buy more an some of the aid is given in the form of imports. It is that simple. The fact Remains Ethiopia is the last but one in indicies of development. Folks dont be fooled. this never measures the amount of poverty and development- It measures the amount of aid you get. Period

Congratulations to peace loving Ethiopians. This is really great news. The country is marching forward with the leadership of PM Meles and his government and party. I know this is a big headache for all the ill wishers and enemies of ethiopia including the so called diaspora CUDites. They are dreaming and praying for bad news but no way every morning Ethiopia is the headline of good news. Wait until u see the completion and contribution of the big hydro, agricultural and industrial projects then Ethiopia is going to be number one. Mark my words. History is in the making! The hard working people and government of ethiopia are pulling the country out of poverty once and for all.

Stupid people, communist countrys dont develop.
80 million people and $170 dollars per person is extreme poverty. Comparing yourself with smaller countries and celebrating is just pathetic. Why are there so many die hard woyane supporters in here anyway. What is so great about them. They have only followed in the footsteps of ethiopian losers and misleader's like the Derg and Haile Sellassie. Our people deserve better and woyane will not do it.
Stop celebrating, you people are too ignorant if you think this is something to celebrate.
Woyane must be paying people to put up there propaganda in here.
Yugoslavia, you are a genius and you did a good job of analyzing our economic reality.

I think this articlle is written by some lobyist to disguise the reality of ethiopian life at all. I did not see any significant change in economy unemployment rate is high, the poverity rate is high, no one can buy daily food stuff, international food aid is increasing every year and 50-60% of farmers are not feed themselves. Ethiopia generally depends on International aid for capital and even recurrent budget. These indicators show for any ordinary people there is no at all any development in people life. I think this article the hand of lobyists who support the dictator and brutla government of Melese Zenawie. Generally as Citzen this article I take as garbage and usless report. They ary trying to foolish us.

Wait a minute, Does Meles Zenawi really deserve to be praised for the little progress we make? Is he not the one who denied access Ethiopia to its natural sea port of Assab? Is he not the one spending millions of dollars and lives on senseles border war with Ertirea? Is he not the one that empeded the economy with government backed TPLF party businesses against the principles of free market economy? Is it not Meles that denied Ethiopian farmers from owning land? Is it not Meles that divided our people on tribal lines making it difficult for them to do business wherever they want to? Is it not Meles that promotes disunity among the people? I can go on like this for ever but the bottom line is if we were happy with our politicians we would have done much better. Even under this condition we are moving. Go Ethiopia!!

I agree with every single word of your comment. I also think that we would be better of without woyanes even if they've contributed (the least possible contribution mostly b/c they were forced to and to save themselves from the wrath of the woken up Ethiopian people which they can't calm down with whatever lies they used to use before and which 'll never work anymore considering the last 17 years)for the growth of the economy.

First off all i should by now know that there is no way that u really are tigrean but some lost soul who wants to make/fool Ethiopians so that we make tigreans pay pay for whet ever tplf has done to the country(I'm sick n' tired of expliang this to everyone but MELES AND HIS FRIENDS ARE NOT TIGREANS) so don't make fool of yourself dumb.
Second if there is any possiblity that u r tigrean I just say BE VERY CAREFUL b/c there are lots of them that would cut your head of hearing u what u just said.
And just for the record am not tigrean (and only consider myself as an Ethiopian, nothing more but on the other hand I don't deny that I do belong to some ethnicity though still not tigrean).

This all bullshit is about the failled mellenium goal. Before the World bank and IMF were accused of looting Africa's money and now they are trying to tell us that affter the pledge to reduce poverty things are working. This is no more than PR stunt and the people are as poor as they were before and everything is becoming harder to have. The haves have it and the have not have not it. It is the same as before.The difference is that the current haves did not have anything before and they think everyone is as happy as they are. Go and get life, no one will believe you. My familly are poorer than before and there is nothing to say that we are richer. I do not know others what they feel.

Woyane's Yugoslavian dream,
Do not preach us having less children please. Ethiopia needs man power and children are the only joy we have. This is again the haves theory that says poor people should not have children even if their countrys' carrying capacity is fine. The want to have all the world resources for themselves. Me and my close familly will need to have atleast 20 children each and that is power.I am against child birth ristriction. Per square killometer Ethiopia needs more children and we need to offset for those who are dying on war fronts.
Thanks

Comment from: Abiy [Visitor]
By now, it must be clearing to anyone with commonsense to understand that the so called opposition groups have long abandoned any discussion about real issues in Ethiopia and the people of Ethiopia. That is because, the government of Ethiopia under the leadership of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has moved the country from the agony of poverty to sustainable development since coming to power. It took this government less than two decades to move the country in that progress. There are incontrovertible evidences to show that Ethiopia is one of the fourteen non-oil producing Sub-Saharan African Countries which have been designated with an economy of sustainable development by all international institutions. This has never been done in modern Ethiopian history! In relative terms, the EPRDF is the best alternative to any of other modern time Ethiopian Regimes in terms of its vision and ability to alter the live of an average Ethiopian for the better so effectively and quickly. No wonder why, these incompetent and defunct groups have changed their power mongering strategies. Their newest strategy is, “No sustainable development without democracy” – aka ‘No development in Ethiopia if we – the legitimate group are not in power’. There is no way that they can deny the so evident progress in Ethiopia – they used to a couple years ago, not now. Now, they have to cling unto something else – like HR2003 as if the American Congress, rather than the Ethiopian people, has the power to choose an Ethiopian government and its leader. Through these entire deceptive ploys that the opposition follows, some gullible individuals in the Diaspora are not able to distinguish between Ethiopian realities and illusions and as such confuse what is good for the future of Ethiopia with what is bad for its progress.

This is a response to some of the questions like what does it take for averge Ethiopian to make 50,000 dollars a year? The answer will be based of the population. Let say it is 100 million, and the country's GDP has to be 5 trillion dollars. By the way 50 grand a year puts us in the top 5 in the world. By comparison average American makes 43,000.

Those of you who are untidemocracy, i would like you to answer me a simple quesiton. Why do you think isayas and his shabian supporters end up like derg? Do you think they want to put their ppl in to misery just for fun. No! They dont listen others opinion. You can not turn out to be Hitler over night but with the right amount of power and supporter the path to hell is a stone's cast away. It is good these oppostions parties say no to tplf. And its upto we ethiopians to teach one another so that we choose the right path for our familly and coutnrys economical and social development. Look now the the symbolic eprdf turns out to be ppls party. It was not long time ago ppl reduced from their work just because they put ethiopians flag on their cloth while the so called redundant man powr reductin comitee full of shabiasn and anti demcracy tplf member reducing ppl from their work whil keeping shabians in work or power just because they are shaibiasn. (if you dont be upset by this and then what can makes you upset). We should never allow this kind of abusment. And this makes us differnt from shabiasn.e workers. But we say no to that. We say no to the jenerous gift of asab to shabia by tplf. we say no to partcial treatment of our citizen. We say no to day time robbery by shabiasn by millitary conovy (the tigryasn were the one stoped these robbery phydically while the so called ethio-shabians starting scanvengering evrything to eritrea) We say no to that too. If it were left evry thing to those few undemocratic tplf arrogants, then we could have the short version of isayas in Ethiopia also.
You want to help Eprdf, say no when ti does wrongs and appreciat it when it doing corecct.
Dont froce me to call you shabia!
Marry Christmass!

This is my very first participation.In thepasticonsidered it useless to urgue with a bunch of people who made up their mind toopoe or supot based on their filling or motivaated by ethinic orgin,hatre or jelousy.
Howevr i am encouraed now to see a lot of reasonale coments and analysis.This is the very possitive change that i saw in a long time,as well as the very good news a bout the country`s economic progress.I will dare to say that the attitude of the whole population must have contributed.so lets try to look to see thigs possitively and encourage when we see one.
If these economic progresses has been made they are stil going to be read and a physical is going to be visible with in the country.
for thoe of You who are on the oposition side,you might dislike the current administration,but You cant change the fact the changes that appeared and that are tangable.
I believe on having oposition that will bring positive changes and progress,but an oposition that comes with a rage motivatd by hidden agenda will accomplish nothing.
We have seen it clearly when the socaalled diaspora oposition tried to blocck aid(money flow)to the country or allowing a foreighn power to controoll their government and people,to give away their sovernity.as they say in amharic"Enie Kemotkhu Sordo Ayibkel" Who ever leads the Country the money will be there whic means,the money flow will contribute to the economy growth and the country will remain there forevr.
So don`t be full or don`t be fulled those who opose what is seen right most,or from what we saw and what we see about ethiopia today have thier own motive or (agenda)such as powerhunger,Jeleosy,greedorbeing an agent for a hostile Country.
Those of You who are on the right track,Brovo!! Others You need to wakeup.

Ethiopians are inteligent, savy, and hadworking preople. Ethiopia's current prosperty is the result of political stability for the last 17 years.
Stability comes, of course, from leadership. It does not just happen. ongratulations Meles and his team.
