Analysis# Bhutan GDP per Capita
Bhutan's GDP per capita reached $4,710.11 USD in 2026, matching its all-time peak. This figure represents a remarkable 1,400.9% increase since 1980, when the metric stood at just $313.83 USD. The Himalayan nation has sustained steady economic growth over nearly five decades, transforming from one of the world's lowest income levels to a solidly middle-income economy.
Recent acceleration marks the most dramatic phase of this expansion. Between 2017 and 2026, GDP per capita rose from $3,270.28 to $4,710.11 USD, with particularly sharp gains from 2024 onward. The 2020-2021 period showed temporary stagnation amid global disruption, yet recovery proved swift and vigorous. Projected momentum suggests continued upward movement beyond 2026, positioning Bhutan among Asia's fastest-improving economies.
