Myanmar PPP Conversion Rate is wrong?!
I just retrieve the data for Myanmar from WEO 2008 Database. The PPP conversion rate for Myanmar seems to be too high (for 2005 it is the value 51632.64). A conversion rate of that magnitude is even for such a poor countiy like Myanmar too high. This must be the value of GDP converted with the corresponding PPPs... Bye and thanks!

Related to this, the per capita PPP GDP figure is much too low to be realistic. Would you please check that data. Thank you.
