GDP divided by midyear population NY.GDP.PCAP.CD
Myanmar's gdp per capita was $1,097 in 2025, ranked 170th globally. This represents a 19.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Myanmar's gdp per capita stood at $1,097 in 2025, a decline of +$262 from 2024. The IMF projects $1,097 by 2025. Myanmar ranked 170th globally.
Myanmar’s GDP per capita has risen from a mere 25.08 in 1960 to 1,097.47 in 2025, placing the country 170th in the World Bank ranking. The long‑term trajectory shows a dramatic climb after the all‑time trough of 11.80 in 1966, followed by a gradual ascent that peaked at 1,490.22 in 2020 before slipping slightly in the subsequent five years. Over the 66‑year coverage period the average annual growth rate has been modest, reflecting persistent structural challenges and periodic political instability. By comparison, peer economies such as Burkina Faso (1,115.02) and Rwanda (1,043.00) currently sit at similar levels, yet Myanmar’s per‑capita output remains below the regional median, indicating scope for catch‑up. Continued reforms in investment climate, infrastructure and human capital could revive the upward momentum and push the country beyond the 2020 peak in the coming decade.
