GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD

Overview
Liberia's gdp per capita ppp stood at $1,961 in 2025, a rise of +$90 from 2024. The IMF projects $1,961 by 2025. Liberia ranked 180th globally.
Liberia’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen from $786.53 in 1990 to an all‑time high of $1,960.93 in 2025, placing the nation 180th among World Bank‑listed economies. The indicator’s nadir occurred in 1995, when output fell to $254.39, reflecting the severe disruption of civil conflict and the collapse of formal economic activity. Since the mid‑2000s, gradual macro‑stabilisation, modest improvements in infrastructure and a modest expansion of the services sector have propelled per‑capita income upward, albeit at a pace that still lags behind regional peers such as the Democratic Republic of Congo ($1,974.51) and Somalia ($1,897.71). Over the 36‑year series, the average annual growth rate remains modest, and the country’s rank has moved only slightly within the lower‑middle tier of global comparators. Continued reforms in fiscal management, diversification of export commodities and sustained investment in human capital could accelerate the upward trajectory and narrow the gap with neighboring economies.
