Aruba GDP per Capita PPP (1986–2025)

Overview

Aruba's gdp per capita ppp stood at $49,451 in 2025, a decline of +$1,198 from 2024. The IMF projects $49,451 by 2025. Aruba ranked 46th globally.

Aruba’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen dramatically over the 40‑year span from 8,116.46 in 1986, the all‑time trough, to a peak of 50,649.30 in 2024, before settling at 49,451.39 in 2025, which places the island at rank 46 globally. This expansion reflects a more than six‑fold increase, outpacing many small‑state peers and aligning closely with Portugal’s 49,753.18 and Estonia’s 49,087.45, while still lagging slightly behind Croatia’s 51,453.31. The steep ascent coincides with Aruba’s diversification from oil‑refining to tourism‑driven services, coupled with fiscal reforms that have attracted foreign investment and boosted productivity. Although the 2025 figure marks a modest dip from the 2024 high, the trajectory remains upward, suggesting that continued investment in high‑value tourism and renewable energy could sustain growth, while any external shock to global travel demand would be the principal risk to the current trend.
