GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Guatemala's gdp per capita ppp was $15,100 in 2025, ranked 113th globally. This represents a 5.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Guatemala's gdp per capita ppp stood at $15,100 in 2025, a rise of +$731 from 2024. The IMF projects $15,100 by 2025. Guatemala ranked 113th globally.
Guatemala’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen from US$3,171.71 in 1980 to US$15,100.09 in 2025, a 376 % increase over 46 years and the highest level recorded for the country. The 2025 figure places Guatemala at rank 113 globally, marginally below Iraq’s US$15,390.57 and Tunisia’s US$14,982.77, while remaining close to South Africa’s US$16,049.82 and Belize’s US$14,920.77. The long‑run expansion reflects structural shifts toward services and remittances, combined with modest industrial growth, yet per‑capita income remains well below the median of middle‑income economies. Persistent challenges such as uneven education outcomes, limited formal employment and vulnerability to climate‑related shocks have constrained a faster climb. Continued investment in human capital, diversification of export markets and improved fiscal stability could sustain the upward trajectory, while adverse external shocks would risk flattening or reversing recent gains.
