Overview

New Caledonia’s GDP per capita has risen dramatically over the past six decades, climbing from a trough of 1,713.14 in 1965 to a 2024 level of 29,213.19, which places the territory at rank 53 globally. The all‑time peak of 38,835.94 was recorded in 2011, reflecting a period of robust growth driven by mining and services, before a modest decline set in during the subsequent decade. Compared with peers of similar ranking, New Caledonia’s current figure is just below Lithuania’s 29,384.02 and marginally lower than Portugal’s 29,292.24, yet it exceeds Barbados’s 26,544.87, underscoring its relatively strong performance among small economies. The long‑term upward trajectory suggests that continued investment in high‑value sectors and diversification away from commodity dependence could sustain growth, while any slowdown in global demand for nickel or a shift in trade patterns might reverse the recent gains.
