GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD

Overview
Ghana's gdp per capita ppp stood at $8,410 in 2025, a rise of +$390 from 2024. The IMF projects $8,410 by 2025. Ghana ranked 137th globally.
Ghana’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen from a low of 878.39 in 1983 to an all‑time high of 8,410.29 in 2025, placing the country 137th in the world after 46 years of coverage. The upward trajectory reflects sustained macro‑economic reforms, diversification of exports and modest improvements in human‑capital outcomes, which have lifted the average citizen’s purchasing power by nearly tenfold since the early 1980s. Compared with peers of similar rank, Ghana trails Cambodia’s 8,707.07 and Côte d’Ivoire’s 8,112.67, suggesting room for catch‑up as regional integration deepens and private‑sector investment expands. The early‑1980s trough coincided with severe fiscal imbalances and commodity price shocks, while the recent peak aligns with a more stable external environment and higher commodity prices. Continued diversification away from primary commodities, coupled with infrastructure upgrades, will be pivotal in sustaining the positive trend and narrowing the gap with neighboring economies.
