Libya GDP per Capita PPP
GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Libya's gdp per capita ppp was $17,931 in 2025, ranked 105th globally. This represents a 25.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Libya's gdp per capita ppp stood at $17,931 in 2025, a rise of +$3,627 from 2024. The IMF projects $17,931 by 2025. Libya ranked 105th globally.
Libya’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has fallen sharply from an all‑time peak of 30,928.94 in 2007 to a trough of 10,954.80 in 2020, reflecting the combined impact of political instability, conflict‑related disruptions and the collapse of oil production during that period. After a modest recovery, the latest 2025 estimate stands at 17,930.65, placing the country 105th globally and only slightly above peers such as Bhutan (17,721.79) and below Algeria (18,509.45). The 46‑year series shows that the post‑2020 rebound has been driven by gradual restoration of oil output and limited diversification efforts, yet the level remains well below the early‑2000s high. Continued stabilization of the security environment and sustained investment in non‑hydrocarbon sectors would be required to reverse the long‑term decline and move Libya’s PPP‑adjusted income toward its historic peak.
