Countries by GDP Per Capita (PPP) 2026

About This Dataset

Countries ranked by GDP per capita measured in international dollars at purchasing power parity in 2026, according to IMF World Economic Outlook projections. Luxembourg consistently leads developed economy GDP per capita rankings — its extraordinary output per person reflecting a highly concentrated financial services sector, the outsized contribution of European Union institutional employment, and a resident workforce that commutes in from neighbouring France, Belgium, and Germany without being counted in the denominator.

✨ AI Insight

The gap between Luxembourg's GDP per capita of $145,000 and that of the United States at $90,000 illustrates a significant economic divide. Luxembourg's financial services sector and its unique employment structure contribute to its leading position, while Singapore and Ireland benefit from strong tech and financial sectors, respectively. Norway and Switzerland follow with $102,000 and $98,000, indicating robust economies, yet they still trail behind the top three. The trend suggests that while developed economies continue to grow, the concentration of wealth in a few countries may exacerbate global economic inequality, raising questions about sustainability and long-term economic balance.
