Overview
Romania's gdp per capita ppp stood at $48,847 in 2025, a decline of +$229 from 2024. The IMF projects $48,847 by 2025. Romania ranked 49th globally.
Romania's GDP per capita PPP has exhibited a notable trajectory over the past four decades, with significant fluctuations. The country's all-time low of $4,515.01 in 1992 serves as a stark contrast to its peak of $49,076.54 achieved in 2024, demonstrating a substantial recovery. From the trough, GDP per capita PPP has risen steadily, surpassing the $10,000 threshold in 2005 and exceeding $40,000 by 2020. Despite a slight dip in 2023, the latest figure of $48,847.46 in 2025 places Romania at the 49th position globally. This ranking is comparable to that of the Russian Federation, which boasts a GDP per capita PPP of $49,048.99. The rapid growth experienced by Romania since 1992 positions it among the most successful transition economies in Eastern Europe. However, a potential decline in European economic growth or a global economic downturn could challenge Romania's upward trajectory, requiring policymakers to adapt and maintain economic stability.
