GDP per Capita: Egypt

Analysis# Egypt GDP per Capita Egypt's GDP per capita reached $3,578.57 in 2026, reflecting a dramatic 517% increase since 1980 when it stood at just $580.04. The nation peaked at $4,587.17 in 2022, representing the highest point in recorded history. Current levels remain substantially above the baseline from nearly five decades ago, though recent years show volatility rather than sustained growth. A sharp decline occurred between 2022 and 2025, dropping approximately $1,000 per capita from the peak. The 2020–2022 period marked exceptional growth, driven by post-pandemic recovery and economic expansion. The subsequent contraction through 2025 suggests underlying structural challenges or external headwinds affecting Egypt's economic output per person. The projected 2026 figure indicates stabilization, though recovery to 2022 levels appears unlikely in the near term.
