GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Eswatini's gdp per capita ppp was $13,310 in 2025, ranked 118th globally. This represents a 12.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Eswatini's gdp per capita ppp stood at $13,310 in 2025, a rise of +$1,511 from 2024. The IMF projects $13,310 by 2025. Eswatini ranked 118th globally.
Eswatini’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen from a trough of 1,558.19 in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 13,310.11 in 2025, placing the kingdom at 118th in the world ranking. This 752 percent increase over 46 years reflects gradual structural adjustments, modest diversification beyond sugar and forestry, and modest improvements in education and health outcomes. Nevertheless, the figure remains slightly below that of close peers such as El Salvador (13,876.77) and the Philippines (12,920.04), underscoring the limited pace of growth relative to other lower‑middle‑income economies. The long‑term upward trajectory suggests that continued investment in infrastructure, higher‑value manufacturing, and regional market integration could sustain the rise, while adverse shocks to commodity prices or fiscal stability would risk reversing the gains.
