Point

ポイント ／ percentage-point　—　Measuring

A unit expressing the difference between two percentages. The difference between 1% and 2% is one point.

France　The strong franc ／ A polling station

The ratio between percentages (e.g., double) is different from the difference in percentages (one point). Expressing changes in interest rates or prices in points avoids obscuring the original figures.
