Bangladesh GDP per Capita
GDP divided by midyear population NY.GDP.PCAP.CD
Bangladesh's gdp per capita was $2,734 in 2025, ranked 144th globally. This represents a 5.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Bangladesh's gdp per capita stood at $2,734 in 2025, a rise of +$141 from 2024. The IMF projects $2,734 by 2025. Bangladesh ranked 144th globally.
Bangladesh’s GDP per capita has risen from an all‑time trough of 82.48 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 2,734.10 in 2025, positioning the country at 144th in the world after 66 years of data coverage. This long‑term expansion reflects sustained growth in manufacturing, services and remittances, while the per‑capita figure remains modest relative to peers such as the Kyrgyz Republic (2,789.59) and Cambodia (2,812.21). The upward trajectory accelerated after the early 2000s, when structural reforms and export‑oriented policies lifted incomes, yet the gap with higher‑ranking economies persists. Continued investment in human capital, infrastructure and higher‑value industries will be crucial to sustain the current momentum; without such advances, the pace of per‑capita growth may decelerate, while targeted reforms could push Bangladesh further up the global rankings.
