Equatorial Guinea GDP per Capita PPP (1980–2025)

Overview

Equatorial Guinea's gdp per capita ppp stood at $20,494 in 2025, a rise of +$2,927 from 2024. The IMF projects $20,494 by 2025. Equatorial Guinea ranked 96th globally.

Equatorial Guinea’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing power parity terms has risen dramatically from a trough of 334.94 in 1980 to a peak of 30 522.78 in 2008, reflecting the rapid expansion of its oil sector during the early 2000s. By 2025 the indicator stands at 20 493.83, placing the country 96th globally and positioning it alongside peers such as Ukraine (20 903.94) and Mongolia (20 378.30). The 46‑year span shows a long‑term upward trajectory, yet the post‑peak decline to the 2025 level indicates that the earlier oil‑driven boom has moderated, with growth now more reliant on diversification efforts and modest non‑hydrocarbon activity. Continued investment in infrastructure, education and renewable energy could sustain the recent gains, while any reversal in global oil prices or domestic political instability would likely reverse the modest upward trend observed since the 2008 peak.
