Overview
Lebanon's gdp per capita stood at $5,282 in 2024, a rise of +$873 from 2023. Lebanon ranked 127th globally.
Lebanon’s GDP per capita has risen from a low of 1,356.47 in 1980 to 5,282.15 in 2024, placing the country 127th globally and situating it between peers such as Ukraine (5,389.47) and Iran (5,190.17). The indicator reached its all‑time peak of 9,174.54 in 2018, a brief high point that followed years of post‑civil‑war reconstruction, before a sharp decline to a trough of 771.00 in 1989 amid the Lebanese Civil War and regional instability. Over the 45‑year span, the trajectory reflects the combined effects of political volatility, fiscal crises and external shocks, which have repeatedly eroded growth gains. Recent modest recovery is evident in the 2024 figure, yet the gap to the 2018 peak remains substantial. Continued macro‑economic reforms, stabilization of public finances and improved security conditions will be crucial to sustain upward momentum and narrow the distance to pre‑crisis per‑capita levels.
