Comparative Outputs, Incomes and Price Levels in African Countries
This publication reports the final results of the International Comparison Program for Africa (ICP-Africa). It provides details of purchasing power parity (PPP)-adjusted real gross domestic product (GDP) expenditures, PPP indices, and price level indices (PLIs) for the 48 African countries that participated in the 2005 ICP round.
These results cover final household consumption expenditure; government expenditure, both collective and individual; and investment, as well as net exports. Preliminary results published in March 2007 related only to consumption expenditure and did not include housing services. For some countries, only partial data were included in the 2007 publication. Highlights of the final results were published in April 2008.
