A country's gross domestic product (GDP) at purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita is the PPP value of all final goods and services produced within an economy in a given year, divided by the average (or mid-year) population for the same year.

He said in his post that the country plans to increase its current GDP to $2.5 trillion based on the PPPs within the next five years, which will fall on the 50th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
