Prices and moneyConsumer prices, exchange rates, purchasing power and figures in today's prices.
Every figure stays in its own currency. Next to it you can have:
| value_usd | In US dollars at the average of that period's official daily rates (Pro and Analyst) |
| converted | A series in US dollars, euros or at purchasing power parity |
| real | A series in the prices of its latest period, from the country's own consumer price index |
The rates themselves
Consumer prices come from each country's own statistics office. Exchange rates are by month, quarter and year, against the US dollar and the euro. Purchasing power is for private consumption, by year.
Converting and adjusting an amount
/v1/convert takes an amount from one currency to another at a period's rate. /v1/adjust takes an amount in one year's prices to another year's.
