Myanmar GDP per Capita PPP
GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Myanmar's gdp per capita ppp was $4,951 in 2025, ranked 154th globally. This represents a 17.5% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Myanmar's gdp per capita ppp stood at $4,951 in 2025, a decline of +$1,047 from 2024. The IMF projects $4,951 by 2025. Myanmar ranked 154th globally.
Myanmar’s GDP per‑capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen from a trough of 441.10 in 1990 to an all‑time peak of 6,101.37 in 2019, before slipping to 4,950.86 in 2025, placing the country 154th in the global ranking. The long‑term upward trajectory reflects gradual integration into regional trade networks and modest industrialisation, yet the recent decline signals the impact of political instability and reduced foreign investment after 2019. Compared with peers of similar rank, Myanmar’s 2025 figure is slightly below Timor‑Leste’s 5,018.75 and marginally above the Federated States of Micronesia’s 4,760.79, underscoring a modest but uneven catch‑up with neighboring economies. With ongoing reforms and renewed access to international finance, the per‑capita PPP could resume growth, provided that governance and security conditions improve to sustain investment and productivity gains.
