Overview
Eritrea's gdp per capita ppp stood at $1,821 in 2019, a rise of +$56 from 2018. Eritrea ranked 194th globally.
Eritrea's GDP per Capita PPP has displayed a mixed performance over the past 28 years. The country's GDP per Capita PPP peaked in 2014 at $2,020.60, more than double its 1992 value of $1,020.57. However, since then, the indicator has declined, reaching $1,821.28 in 2019. This decline is notable, particularly when compared to neighboring countries such as Yemen, which has maintained a higher GDP per Capita PPP of $1,843.46 over the same period. The 2019 value of $1,821.28 is a significant decrease from the peak, indicating a reversal of the country's economic growth trajectory. While Eritrea has made significant progress in increasing its GDP per Capita PPP since 1992, the recent decline may be attributed to various factors such as economic instability, conflict, and infrastructure challenges. The trajectory of this indicator may shift if the country can stabilize its economy and attract foreign investment.
