GDP per Capita: Greece

Analysis# Greece GDP per Capita Greece's GDP per capita reached $29,412 in 2026, representing a robust 401.4% increase since 1980. The metric remains $2,329 below its all-time peak of $31,741 in 2008, when the global financial crisis marked a turning point for the Greek economy. From a low of $4,765 in 1985, the country's per capita income has demonstrated significant long-term growth despite recent volatility. The 2008 financial crisis and subsequent eurozone debt crisis created a sharp contraction, with GDP per capita dropping to $17,839 by 2020. Recovery accelerated markedly from 2022 onward, gaining $5,573 in just four years through 2026. Projections suggest continued momentum, positioning Greece to potentially surpass its 2008 peak within the coming years as economic conditions stabilize.
