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# Argentina GDP per Capita Argentina's GDP per capita stands at $13,895 USD in 2026, approaching its all-time peak of $14,895 USD reached in 2015. Since 1980, the metric has grown 66.2%, climbing from $2,867 USD to current levels. Despite this long-term expansion, the country experienced significant volatility, particularly a sharp contraction between 2017 and 2020, when GDP per capita fell from $14,618 USD to $8,489 USD. Recovery began in 2021 and accelerated through 2025, reaching $14,359 USD before a modest decline to current projections. The 2017–2020 downturn marked Argentina's most severe recent economic stress, reflecting macroeconomic instability. Forward projections suggest continued fluctuation rather than sustained growth, with GDP per capita remaining in the $13,500–$14,400 USD range through the near term.
