Overview
Chile's gdp per capita stood at $17,181 in 2025, a rise of +$471 from 2024. The IMF projects $17,181 by 2025. Chile ranked 68th globally.
Chile’s GDP per capita has risen from a trough of 516.49 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 17,180.94 in 2025, placing the country 68th globally among 66 years of coverage. This long‑run expansion reflects sustained structural reforms, export‑driven growth and integration into global markets, particularly in mining and services. The 2025 figure of 17,180.94 is marginally below the level of its nearest peer, the Russian Federation, which recorded 17,445.75, yet above Serbia’s 15,322.20 and Montenegro’s 14,985.90, underscoring Chile’s competitive position in the upper‑mid tier of middle‑income economies. The upward trajectory has been punctuated by periods of volatility, but the cumulative increase of more than 33 times the 1960 level highlights the country’s capacity to translate resource endowments into broader prosperity. Continued diversification away from commodity dependence and investment in human capital will be crucial to sustain the positive trend and potentially close the gap with higher‑ranked peers.
