The ultimate aim of democracy or government is  comfort of the people. The indicator of that comfort or economic development of the people is the annual budget. Budget is used as the criteria to measure the economic growth of a country, is evaluated and presented  annually to the people. According to the assessment of the year 2020,  the first three positions among the countries in the size of the budget is held by  USA, China and India. 

As per the web source analysis the best 10 countries in PPP are, Germany, USA, Brazil, China, Japan, Australia, Canada, India, Indonesia and Russia. 

The per capita income  is the average earning per country men every year. PCI is calculated by dividing the annual GDP of a country by it's population. When PPP indicates the purchasing power of the people, the PCI shows the money available with the people. Though these two are assessed under different dimension, provides almost similar result. GDP per capita PPP in India is expected to reach 6,988 USD by the end of 2023 according to Trading Economics global macro models and analysts expectations.
