Interesting question: what is PPP? It seems to someone that he knows the decoding of the teaching staff. These are the inscriptions that we often see on police cars. This is the patrol service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. This is correct, but not a complete answer. The abbreviation PPP has more than 20 transcripts, depending on the field of activity.
What is the abbreviation
We often hear words that are not entirely clear, or rather, sets of letters, such as gas station, Moscow State University, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Security Council, BMP and many, many others. Some are clear to us, the meaning of others we are looking for using the Internet. These letters are nothing more than an abbreviation, an abbreviated combination made up of the initial letters or abbreviations of the words included in it.
Depending on the type of activity, area of life, the decoding of PPP may be different. This abbreviation can be used in medicine, economics, road and rail transport, construction, computer science and many other areas. In the volume of a small article, we will consider only some of them.
Medicine
In medicine, PPS decoding is used in cardiology. It refers to acquired heart disease or valvular disease. This is a serious disease that occurs when the heart malfunctions as a result of the internal structure or acquired changes in the heart valves. Defects can appear as a result of infectious lesions, inflammation and malfunctions of the immune system, overload and enlargement of the heart chambers without changing their wall thickness.
Here the abbreviation is used, as, indeed, in other cases, to reduce when writing. Medical workers do not need to decipher the teaching staff, they perfectly understand what is at stake. It is common knowledge that doctors have to fill out a lot of paperwork, so without such cuts it will be quite difficult.
Economy
Purchasing power parity - this is the interpretation of PPP in the economy. What it is? Each currency has a certain purchasing power for certain types of goods. Everyone is well aware that if we take two currencies and recalculate them, in accordance with the exchange rate, then we can theoretically purchase the same amount of this product in both countries.
There is a theory of purchasing power parity, according to which it is closely related to the exchange rate. If the established parity between the two countries is violated and the purchasing power of citizens of the first country is higher than in the second, then it will be more profitable to buy goods in the second and sell them in the first.
In practice, current exchange rates differ significantly from parity, sinceoften the price of goods is influenced by various factors: customs duties, transportation costs, various restrictions on imports and exports. The greater the discrepancy between parity and exchange rates, the more changes in volumes and export structure will be needed.
