India: Currency +/- valuation index

This is a cost of living indicator. The figure shows how much how much a bundle of goods and services costing US$1 in the US would cost in other countries (similar to The Economist's Big Mac Index).

To arrive at the figure, the Global Property Guide takes the difference between the IMF's nominal GDP figures, and their purchasing power parity GDP figures for the latest year available.

Note that currency undervaluation (as measured by PPP) is not a good predictor of future currency movements.

These cost of living indicators refer to data collected annually (for date of collection, see Data FAQ )

India has just released the pilot issue of Residex (India’s house price index), covering five main cities, through the National Housing Bank (NHB). Since the Residex is new, its methodology is being revised every so often. Unfortunately, the Residex is not publicly available. General economics statistics are from the Reserve Bank of India.
