Overview
West Bank and Gaza's gdp per capita stood at $2,592 in 2024, a decline of +$663 from 2023. West Bank and Gaza ranked 155th globally.
West Bank and Gaza’s GDP per capita has risen from 1,201.58 in 1994 to 2,592.31 in 2024, placing the economy at rank 155 globally. The indicator peaked in 2022 at 3,799.96 before retreating to the current level, while the lowest point occurred in 2002 at 1,156.22, reflecting the combined impact of political instability, restricted movement and fluctuating external aid. Over the 31‑year span, growth has been uneven, with a sharp post‑2002 recovery that accelerated after 2010, yet the recent decline from the 2022 high suggests vulnerability to shocks such as conflict‑related disruptions and funding volatility. Compared with peers, the territory’s 2024 figure is marginally lower than Bangladesh’s 2,593.42 and higher than Zimbabwe’s 2,497.20, underscoring a modest comparative performance within the lower‑middle income bracket. Continued improvement will depend on sustained investment in infrastructure and a stable security environment that can support a more resilient economic trajectory.
