Kiribati's gdp per capita ppp was $3,705 in 2025, ranked 164th globally. This represents a 0.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview

Kiribati’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing power parity terms has risen from a trough of 932.98 in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 3,704.85 in 2025, placing the nation 164th globally among 191 economies. This 297 percent increase over 46 years reflects modest structural gains despite the country’s small, dispersed population and vulnerability to climate change. The 2025 figure is closely aligned with that of Sierra Leone (3,699.41) and slightly below Papua New Guinea’s 3,761.99, underscoring Kiribati’s relative position among lower‑middle‑income Pacific and African peers. While the upward trajectory suggests continued improvement in living standards, sustaining growth will depend on diversifying the narrow economic base, enhancing resilience to sea‑level rise, and attracting external investment; without such measures, the recent gains could stall or reverse.
