Overview
Nauru's gdp per capita ppp stood at $12,268 in 2025, a decline of +$1,905 from 2024. The IMF projects $12,268 by 2025. Nauru ranked 123rd globally.
Nauru’s GDP per capita at purchasing power parity fell from its all‑time peak of 16,215.16 in 1990 to a trough of 4,788.52 in 2007, before climbing back to 12,267.63 in 2025, placing the island nation 123rd globally. The sharp decline during the early 2000s coincided with the collapse of the phosphate mining sector, which had long underpinned the economy, while the modest recovery reflects diversification efforts, including offshore financial services and limited tourism development. Compared with peer economies, Nauru’s 2025 figure is slightly below Namibia’s 12,341.51 and marginally above India’s 12,100.97, indicating a convergence toward the lower‑middle range of the global distribution. Continued investment in renewable energy and fisheries could sustain the upward trajectory, whereas renewed dependence on volatile commodity markets would risk reversing the recent gains.
