Chile GDP per Capita PPP (1980–2025)

Overview

Chile's gdp per capita ppp stood at $35,286 in 2025, a decline of +$895 from 2024. The IMF projects $35,286 by 2025. Chile ranked 65th globally.

Chile’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen dramatically from 3,479.43 in 1980 to 35,286.47 in 2025, placing the country 65th in the world and reflecting a 46‑year expansion that culminated in an all‑time peak of 36,181.16 in 2024. The steep ascent mirrors structural reforms, commodity booms and integration into global value chains, while the early low point coincided with the debt crisis of the early 1980s that depressed output across Latin America. Chile now sits alongside peers such as Trinidad and Tobago, whose 2025 figure is 35,899.58, and the Maldives at 36,065.76, highlighting a convergence among small, open economies that have leveraged natural resources or tourism. Continued growth will depend on sustaining investment in renewable energy, diversifying exports beyond copper and navigating demographic shifts; absent major shocks, the upward trajectory is likely to persist, albeit at a moderated pace.
