Overview

Portugal's gdp per capita stood at $31,415 in 2025, a rise of +$2,122 from 2024. The IMF projects $31,415 by 2025. Portugal ranked 43rd globally.

Portugal's GDP per capita has experienced significant growth over the past 66 years, rising from a low of 376.98 in 1960 to a current value of 31,414.53 in 2025. This represents a remarkable increase of over 8,300%, far surpassing many of its peer countries. For instance, Lithuania, which ranks closest to Portugal in the global GDP per capita rankings, has a value of 32,982.41, indicating that Portugal still lags behind in terms of economic development. The most recent value marks the all-time peak for Portugal, with no indication of a decline in recent years. The steady growth in GDP per capita suggests that Portugal's economy has been steadily improving over the past several decades, driven by factors such as investment, innovation, and trade. However, a decline in investment or a decrease in global trade could potentially alter this trajectory and impact Portugal's long-term economic growth prospects.
