Dominican Republic GDP per Capita
GDP divided by midyear population NY.GDP.PCAP.CD
Dominican Republic's gdp per capita was $11,919 in 2025, ranked 80th globally. This represents a 9.6% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Dominican Republic's gdp per capita stood at $11,919 in 2025, a rise of +$1,044 from 2024. The IMF projects $11,919 by 2025. Dominican Republic ranked 80th globally.
Dominican Republic’s GDP per capita has risen from a low of 193.91 in 1961, the all‑time trough, to 11,919.42 in 2025, the highest figure recorded over the 66‑year series and placing the country 80th globally. This increase reflects sustained expansion of services, tourism and remittances, while the early post‑war period showed minimal growth, with the 1960 level of 205.73 barely above the trough. The 2025 peak surpasses the 2010 level of roughly 5,400, indicating that per‑capita output has more than doubled in the past decade. Compared with peer small‑state economies, Dominican Republic trails Mauritius (12,518.85) and Grenada (12,543.95) but exceeds St. Vincent and the Grenadines (11,132.38), suggesting a competitive but still modest position in the Caribbean‑Latin America cluster. Continued diversification of export sectors and higher foreign‑direct investment are likely to sustain the upward trajectory, although external shocks could temper future growth.
