GDP per Capita: Nicaragua

Analysis# Nicaragua GDP per Capita Nicaragua's GDP per capita reached $3,083.88 USD in 2026, marking an all-time high and representing a 243.3% increase since 1994, when the metric stood at just $898.20 USD. The country has more than tripled its per capita output over three decades, though the trajectory reflects periods of volatility alongside sustained growth. A significant downturn occurred between 2017 and 2020, with GDP per capita declining from $2,147.86 to $1,924.71 USD. Recovery began in 2021 and accelerated sharply thereafter, with consecutive annual gains pushing the metric upward by nearly $160 USD annually from 2022 through 2026. This recent momentum suggests continued economic expansion through the forecast horizon.
