Overview
Viet Nam's gdp per capita stood at $4,745 in 2025, a rise of +$27 from 2024. The IMF projects $4,745 by 2025. Viet Nam ranked 124th globally.
Viet Nam's GDP per capita has experienced a remarkable growth trajectory over the past four and a half decades, with the latest figure standing at 4,744.73. The country's GDP per capita surpassed its all-time peak in 2025, a testament to its rapid economic development. In contrast, the post-war economic downturn of the late 1980s saw the GDP per capita plummet to a trough of 98.11 in 1989. The current ranking places Viet Nam at #124 globally, closely rivaling countries such as Tunisia with a GDP per capita of 4,751.55 and Morocco with 4,762.73. The economic progress achieved since the 1980s has transformed Viet Nam into one of the most dynamic economies in the region. The trajectory is expected to continue its upward trend, driven by the country's integration into global supply chains, investment in human capital, and continued economic reforms. A significant decline in global economic growth or a sharp decline in foreign investment, however, could potentially alter this trajectory.
