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# Cambodia GDP per Capita Cambodia's GDP per capita reached $2,938.61 USD in 2026, matching its all-time peak. This represents extraordinary growth since 1986, when the metric stood at just $17.65 USD—a staggering increase of 10,987%. The nation's economic trajectory has shifted dramatically from the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge, demonstrating sustained development over four decades despite significant regional challenges. The period from 2017 to 2026 reveals accelerating growth, with Cambodia's GDP per capita climbing from $1,888.07 to nearly $2,939 USD. A notable dip occurred in 2020 during the pandemic, dropping to $2,136.01, but recovery proved swift and robust. The consistent upward momentum since 2021 suggests Cambodia's economy has stabilized on a strong growth path, with projections indicating continued expansion beyond 2026.
