Guinea-Bissau GDP per Capita PPP
GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Guinea-Bissau's gdp per capita ppp was $3,279 in 2025, ranked 168th globally. This represents a 5.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Guinea-Bissau's gdp per capita ppp stood at $3,279 in 2025, a rise of +$160 from 2024. The IMF projects $3,279 by 2025. Guinea-Bissau ranked 168th globally.
Guinea‑Bissau’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing power parity terms has risen from a low of 707.08 in 1980 to 3,279.35 in 2025, placing the country 168th in the world and marking its all‑time peak. The 4.6‑fold increase over 46 years reflects modest structural reforms and modest growth in agriculture and services, yet the level remains below that of nearby Togo (3,372.91) and Chad (3,155.03). While the upward trajectory suggests gradual improvement in living standards, the pace is slower than many sub‑Saharan peers that have benefitted from larger foreign direct investment inflows and more diversified economies. Persistent challenges such as political instability, limited infrastructure and vulnerability to external shocks continue to constrain higher per‑capita growth. If Guinea‑Bissau can deepen economic diversification, strengthen governance and attract sustained investment, the upward trend in PPP‑adjusted income is likely to accelerate in the coming decade.
