Overview
Jamaica's gdp ppp stood at $38.3B in 2025, a rise of +$1.7B from 2024. The IMF projects $38.3B by 2025. Jamaica ranked 138th globally.
Jamaica’s gross domestic product measured at purchasing power parity has expanded from a low of 6,723,000,000.00 in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 38,331,000,000.00 in 2025, placing the island nation at rank 138 globally and positioning it just above Namibia’s 37,632,000,000.00 and slightly below Mauritius’s 41,493,000,000.00. The 46‑year trajectory reflects a more than five‑fold increase, driven by diversification of services, tourism recovery after the 2010‑2016 downturn, and modest gains in manufacturing and remittances. While the growth rate has accelerated since the early 2000s, the magnitude remains modest compared with regional peers such as Haiti, whose 2025 PPP GDP stands at 37,372,000,000.00, indicating that Jamaica’s structural reforms and resilience to climate shocks will be critical to sustain the upward path and potentially narrow the gap with higher‑ranked Caribbean economies.
