Iraq GDP per Capita PPP
GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Iraq's gdp per capita ppp was $15,391 in 2025, ranked 112th globally. This represents a 6.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1991–2025.
Overview
Iraq's gdp per capita ppp stood at $15,391 in 2025, a rise of +$926 from 2024. The IMF projects $15,391 by 2025. Iraq ranked 112th globally.
Iraq’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen dramatically over the 35‑year span from 1991 to 2025, moving from a trough of 2,694.04 in 1991 to an all‑time peak of 15,390.57 in 2025, placing the country at rank 112 globally. The post‑2003 reconstruction era, coupled with higher oil prices and gradual diversification, underpinned the steep ascent, while the early‑1990s collapse of the oil export infrastructure and sanctions anchored the low point. By 2025 Iraq’s per‑capita figure is marginally below that of Guatemala (15,100.09) and Tunisia (14,982.77), yet still lower than South Africa’s 16,049.82, reflecting a middle‑income status that lags behind some peers despite abundant natural resources. Continued investment in non‑hydrocarbon sectors, improvements in governance, and stability in regional security are likely to shape whether the upward trajectory sustains or stalls in the coming decade.
