Paraguay GDP per Capita (1960–2025)

Overview

Paraguay's gdp per capita stood at $6,799 in 2025, a rise of +$383 from 2024. The IMF projects $6,799 by 2025. Paraguay ranked 107th globally.

Paraguay’s GDP per capita reached 6,798.76 in 2025, marking its highest level on record and placing the country 107th globally, according to World Bank data. This represents a significant increase from the historical low of 153.38 recorded in 1960, reflecting over six decades of economic expansion punctuated by periods of instability and growth. The 2025 figure now nearly matches that of peer economies such as Fiji, which recorded 6,825.46 in the same year, and surpasses South Africa’s 6,666.70. Despite this progress, Paraguay’s growth trajectory has been uneven, shaped by structural challenges including reliance on agriculture, informality, and vulnerability to commodity price swings. While recent gains suggest resilience and potential diversification, sustained improvements in productivity, education, and governance would be necessary to accelerate the pace of convergence with higher-income economies. Absent deeper structural reforms or favorable external conditions, the upward trend in GDP per capita may continue but likely at a moderate rate.
