Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's gdp per capita ppp stood at $4,772 in 2022, a rise of +$180 from 2021. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 166th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen from an all‑time trough of 2,072.83 in 1980 to a peak of 6,374.97 in 2010, before slipping to 4,772.46 in 2022, placing the country 166th in the global ranking. The post‑peak decline reflects the combined impact of prolonged conflict, inflationary pressures and reduced foreign investment, which have eroded the gains achieved during the 1990s‑2000s expansion. Compared with peers of similar rank, Syria’s 2022 figure is slightly above Senegal’s 4,530.22 and below Nepal’s 5,102.99, indicating that despite a lower absolute level, its per‑capita income remains within the lower‑middle range of comparable economies. Over the 37‑year series, the trajectory shows a pronounced peak‑trough‑partial‑recovery pattern; any sustained improvement will likely depend on stabilising the security environment, restoring infrastructure and re‑engaging with international donors, which could reverse the recent downward trend.
