How to read this figure

GDP per capita measures economic output per person, not personal wealth or living standards. It can be substantially inflated where a large share of output is generated by multinational corporations or by cross-border workers who are not counted in the resident population. Ireland's figure, for example, is raised by multinational profit-shifting — its own statistics office reports a modified measure (GNI*) for this reason — and Luxembourg's by commuters who contribute to GDP but live abroad. For comparing living standards, GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) is more reliable.

Analysis# Angola GDP per Capita Angola's GDP per capita reached $2,700.96 USD in 2026, representing a substantial decline from its all-time peak of $6,061.87 USD in 2014. Since 1980, the country has achieved a 155.9% increase in per capita income, climbing from $484.97 USD, yet current levels remain 55% below the 2014 benchmark. This trajectory reflects Angola's vulnerability to commodity price volatility and economic structural challenges. The past decade reveals sharp deterioration. Angola's per capita income nearly tripled between 2022 and 2023 before entering a consistent downward cycle through 2026. From 2014 onward, the country lost ground steadily, with only a temporary recovery in 2022. Projections suggest continued contraction ahead, signaling ongoing economic headwinds requiring structural reforms to reverse the recent decline.
