Tanzania GDP per Capita PPP
GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD

Overview
Tanzania's gdp per capita ppp stood at $4,371 in 2025, a rise of +$150 from 2024. The IMF projects $4,371 by 2025. Tanzania ranked 159th globally.
Tanzania’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms has risen from a trough of 504.96 in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 4,371.13 in 2025, placing the country 159th in the world and reflecting a 766 % increase over 46 years. The long‑run expansion has been driven by sustained growth in agriculture, mining and services, yet the per‑capita figure remains modest compared with regional peers such as Zambia’s 4,503.43 and Rwanda’s 4,100.68. Structural constraints, including limited industrial diversification and vulnerability to commodity price swings, keep Tanzania’s per‑capita income below the sub‑Saharan average. Continued investment in infrastructure, human capital and value‑added processing could accelerate convergence with higher‑ranking neighbours, while adverse climate impacts or fiscal pressures would risk stalling the upward trajectory.
