Overview
French Polynesia's gdp per capita stood at $22,440 in 2024, a rise of +$608 from 2023. French Polynesia ranked 65th globally.
French Polynesia’s GDP per capita has risen from a trough of 1,838.58 in 1965 to a 2024 level of 22,439.88, placing it 65th in the world and slightly below peers such as Curaçao (22,832.90) and Hungary (23,292.33). The all‑time peak of 26,592.03 in 2008 reflects a period of strong tourism‑driven growth, after which the figure fell modestly during the global financial crisis before resuming an upward trajectory. Over the 60‑year span, the territory’s per‑capita output has increased by more than twelvefold, driven by expanding services, infrastructure investment and a diversified export base. Nevertheless, the current level remains below the pre‑crisis peak, indicating that growth has moderated despite continued visitor arrivals. Future movements will hinge on the resilience of the tourism sector, the success of economic diversification policies and external shocks such as climate‑related disruptions, which could either accelerate or dampen the long‑term upward trend.
