Overview
Uruguay's gdp per capita stood at $24,380 in 2025, a rise of +$473 from 2024. The IMF projects $24,380 by 2025. Uruguay ranked 54th globally.
Uruguay’s GDP per capita has risen from a trough of 491.03 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 24,379.61 in 2025, placing the country 54th globally among 190 economies. This 4,862 percent increase over 66 years reflects sustained expansion of the services sector, high‑value agricultural exports and a relatively stable macro‑environment that has attracted foreign direct investment. The latest figure of 24,379.61 surpasses the 2024 level by a modest margin and is comparable to peers such as Latvia (25,629.63) and Hungary (25,916.33), indicating that Uruguay now competes with upper‑middle‑income economies in Europe despite its smaller population. Structural reforms in education and technology adoption have contributed to productivity gains, while fiscal prudence has kept inflation low, supporting real income growth. Continued investment in renewable energy and digital infrastructure could further elevate per‑capita output, though external shocks to commodity prices or regional political instability would be likely to dampen the upward trajectory.
