Purchasing power retention rate
The purchasing power retention rate is a measure of the local retention of purchasing power within a region . It can be used to deduce whether the purchasing power available in a region is used locally or is flowing into other regions.
With a purchasing power retention rate of over 100%, the companies in a region generate more sales than the purchasing power actually available in the region, which indicates an inflow of external capital . A quota of less than 100%, on the other hand, indicates an outflow of domestic purchasing power to foreign companies.
In Germany , the purchasing power retention rate in retail is around 95.1%. Individual cities, especially in regions that are heavily used for tourism , can achieve purchasing power retention rates of over 150% (e.g. Goslar: 195.1%). In rural areas in particular, a low rate of retention of purchasing power (sometimes below 25%) leads to problems, as a large part of the local purchasing power flows into larger cities, which harms the local economy .
