I am trying to reproduce this World Bank data.

    I tried the following (for many countries other than the US):

    GDP PPP in current dollars = (GDP_current_LCU)/(PPP_factor)

    Then deflated the above by an index of US inflation, in this case with base 2021. Deflator is:

    US_CPI_year_t/124.3

    Final formula is: (GDP_current_LCU)/(PPP_factor)/(US_CPI_year_t/124.3)

    Values are close but not the same. What am I doing wrong?

    What is the formula for GDP PPP in constant international $?
