PPP
Government-business cooperation acronym
PPP is an abbreviation with several distinct meanings depending on context.
In economics, it stands for purchasing power parity—a theory comparing currencies based on what they can buy.
In government programs, PPP refers to public-private partnerships or, more recently, the Paycheck Protection Program (U.S. pandemic relief loans).
In networking, it's point-to-point protocol.
