Overview

Pakistan's GDP per capita has shown gradual growth over the past 66 years, with the country's economic output per capita increasing from 82.02 in 1960 to 1,706.91 in 2025. This growth places Pakistan at the 157th position globally, with its nearest peer countries being Guinea, with a GDP per capita of 1,741.14, and Tajikistan, with a GDP per capita of 1,643.99. The country's GDP per capita has shown a steady upward trend, with the all-time peak also occurring in 2025, indicating a sustained period of economic growth. However, the narrow gap between Pakistan's GDP per capita and that of its peer countries suggests that there is still room for improvement in the country's economic development. A slowdown in global economic growth or a decline in remittances from overseas Pakistanis could potentially alter the trajectory of Pakistan's GDP per capita growth.
