GDP per Capita: Ecuador

Analysis# Ecuador GDP per Capita Ecuador's GDP per capita reached 7,383.917 USD in 2026, marking an all-time high for the country. Since 1980, the metric has grown 266.4%, rising from a baseline of approximately 1,127 USD. The 1990 low of 1,127.222 USD demonstrates the substantial economic development Ecuador has achieved over four decades, though progress has been uneven across the period. The 2020 pandemic triggered a sharp dip to 5,469.758 USD, representing Ecuador's weakest performance in recent history. Recovery began immediately afterward, with consecutive annual gains from 2021 onward. The consistent upward trajectory from 2020 through 2026—climbing over 1,900 USD in six years—suggests sustained economic momentum. Projections indicate continued growth into the late 2020s, positioning Ecuador's per capita income on a strengthening path.
