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# Dominica GDP per Capita Dominica's GDP per capita reached $10,458.78 USD in 2026, marking an all-time high. This represents an 840% increase since 1981, when the metric stood at just $1,112.64 USD. The Caribbean nation has sustained consistent growth over four decades, though the trajectory has not been linear. The current level reflects significant economic development and improved living standards for Dominican citizens. The 2020 pandemic triggered a notable contraction to $6,872.22 USD, the lowest point in recent history. Recovery began immediately in 2021 and accelerated through 2026, with annual gains ranging from $500 to $620 USD annually since 2022. This sustained upward momentum suggests Dominica's economy has entered a robust expansion phase, with projections indicating continued growth beyond 2026.
