Syrian Arab Republic's gdp per capita was $1,052 in 2022, ranked 187th globally. This represents a 58.5% increase from 2021. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2022.
Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's gdp per capita stood at $1,052 in 2022, a rise of +$388 from 2021. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 187th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s GDP per capita has risen from an all‑time trough of 183.53 in 1960 to a peak of 2,952.14 in 2011, before falling to 1,051.67 in 2022, placing the country 187th globally. The post‑peak decline reflects the protracted conflict that began in 2011, which eroded productive capacity, disrupted trade, and displaced a large share of the labour force. Over the 63‑year series, the average level remains well below that of peer economies such as Tajikistan (1,052.18) and Sudan (1,046.24), indicating that Syria’s per‑capita output has struggled to keep pace with similarly ranked nations despite periods of modest growth. The 2022 figure, marginally above the peer average, suggests a tentative stabilization, yet the trajectory will depend on the restoration of infrastructure, reintegration of displaced workers, and sustained peace, which could catalyze a gradual upward trend in per‑capita income.
