GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Djibouti's gdp per capita ppp was $9,408 in 2025, ranked 132nd globally. This represents a 20.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1991–2025.
Overview
Djibouti's gdp per capita ppp stood at $9,408 in 2025, a rise of +$1,597 from 2024. The IMF projects $9,408 by 2025. Djibouti ranked 132nd globally.
Djibouti’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing power parity terms has risen from 2,602.03 in 1991 to 9,407.65 in 2025, positioning the country at rank 132 globally. The all‑time peak of 9,407.65 was reached in 2025, while the trough of 2,255.77 occurred in 1998, reflecting a more than four‑fold increase over the 35‑year span. This upward trajectory parallels the performance of peer economies such as Nigeria, whose 2025 figure stands at 9,488.16, and Kyrgyz Republic at 8,870.37, suggesting that Djibouti’s growth is broadly consistent with other lower‑middle‑income states that have leveraged strategic port development and foreign investment. The sustained rise has been driven by expanding services linked to the port of Djibouti and regional logistics corridors, yet the per‑capita level remains modest relative to regional averages. Continued diversification of the economic base and improvements in human capital will be crucial to maintain the positive trend and potentially narrow the gap with higher‑ranking peers.
