GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Maldives's gdp per capita ppp was $36,066 in 2025, ranked 63rd globally. This represents a 37.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Maldives's gdp per capita ppp stood at $36,066 in 2025, a rise of +$9,883 from 2024. The IMF projects $36,066 by 2025. Maldives ranked 63rd globally.
Maldives’ GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen dramatically from US$2,105.47 in 1980 to US$36,065.76 in 2025, placing the island nation at rank 63 globally. The 46‑year trajectory reflects an average annual increase of roughly 7 percent, driven by rapid expansion of tourism, offshore financial services and infrastructure investment, while the domestic economy remained vulnerable to climate‑related shocks. The 2025 figure represents an all‑time peak and exceeds the 2025 levels of peers such as Trinidad and Tobago (US$35,899.58) and Uruguay (US$37,190.13), though it remains below the Bahamas (US$42,002.51). The early trough in 1980 coincided with a modest, agrarian‑based economy, underscoring the structural transformation that has occurred. Continued diversification beyond tourism, coupled with effective climate‑adaptation policies, will be crucial to sustain the upward trend and prevent a reversal of the impressive gains achieved over the past five decades.
