It is doing very fine. Thank you. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/indonesia-s-third-quarter-...

Since you are cherry picking examples, here are some more cherries. Countries where the amount of $ one needs to spend to get equivalent of $100 goods in USA:

Country $

------------

Turkey 36

Poland 52

Hungary 56

Mexico 56

Spain 84

Korea 88

Italy 89

Germany 95

Hmm, There is a certain trend here....

First world countries:

Spain 84

Korea 88

Italy 89

Germany 95

All close to 100. Developing nations:

Turkey 36

Poland 52

Hungary 56

Mexico 56

Are all much lower. Seems like enough cherries to me to conclude that developing nations with weaker economies have a higher PPP adjustment.
