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# Mozambique GDP per Capita Mozambique's GDP per capita reached 719.924 USD in 2026, matching its all-time peak. Since 1980, the country has achieved an 81.4% increase in this metric, rising from a low of 164.966 USD in 1988. The metric demonstrates sustained growth momentum, with 2026 representing the culmination of a decade-long upward trajectory rather than a temporary spike. The period from 2017 onward marks a decisive acceleration. After hovering around 510 USD in 2018–2019, a pandemic-induced dip to 456.582 USD in 2020 was followed by consistent recovery and expansion. Annual gains averaged approximately 30–45 USD from 2021 through 2026, suggesting robust economic development. Projections indicate Mozambique's per capita wealth has entered a sustained growth phase, supported by resource extraction and agricultural modernization.
