Gabon's gdp per capita ppp was $24,739 in 2025, ranked 82nd globally. This represents a 15.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Gabon's gdp per capita ppp stood at $24,739 in 2025, a rise of +$3,229 from 2024. The IMF projects $24,739 by 2025. Gabon ranked 82nd globally.
Gabon's GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen from a low of 7,947.47 in 1980 to an all‑time high of 24,738.80 in 2025, placing the country 82nd in the global ranking. This 211 percent increase over 46 years reflects the combined impact of oil‑driven export earnings, modest diversification into timber and manganese, and periodic fiscal reforms that have raised national income per person. The upward trajectory accelerated after the early 2000s when higher oil prices and improved tax administration boosted government revenues, allowing greater public investment in health and education that in turn lifted household consumption. By contrast, peers such as Mexico (25,770.39) and Azerbaijan (26,081.08) now record slightly higher PPP‑adjusted per‑capita outputs, underscoring the modest gap that remains despite Gabon's progress. Continued reliance on volatile commodity markets suggests that sustaining the recent gains will depend on deeper diversification and the development of non‑extractive sectors, which could smooth future growth and further raise per‑capita prosperity.
