Guyana’s GDP per capita has risen dramatically from a low of 299.07 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 31,377.59 in 2025, placing the country 44th globally and edging close to Portugal’s 31,414.53. The trough occurred in 1963 at 288.82, reflecting the early post‑colonial economic structure dominated by agriculture and limited industrial diversification. Over the 66‑year series, the surge has been driven by large‑scale oil discoveries and export‑oriented development, which accelerated growth after 2015 and propelled per‑capita income to surpass the levels of small, high‑income economies such as Kuwait (30,805.16) and Bahrain (29,252.83). While the upward trajectory is evident, sustaining the current pace will depend on effective resource management, fiscal prudence and the expansion of non‑oil sectors to mitigate volatility and preserve the gains achieved.
