Purchasing Power Parity is a theory that says that exchange rates between currencies are in equilibrium when their purchasing power is the same in each of the two countries. This implies an equality in the ratio of the two countries' price level of a fixed basket of goods and services, and the exchange rate between the two countries (Officer, L 1982). In other words purchasing power parity equates the long term equilibrium exchange rate of two currencies to their purchasing power. This only happens in efficient markets. The value of the Purchasing Power Parity theory is that it takes into account the cost of living and the inflation rates. However in the short run the Purchasing Power Parity does not determine the exchange rates. In the short run, the exchange rate is affected by interest rate changes, perceptions of growth and news relating to the two countries. The Purchasing Power Parity is established in the long run. Some economists have taken time periods of between 4 to 10 years for equalizing the purchasing power parity (Madura, J 2006).
