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# Paraguay GDP per Capita Paraguay's GDP per capita reached 7,324.156 USD in 2026, marking both its current level and all-time peak. The nation has expanded dramatically since 1980, when the metric stood at just 1,044.373 USD—a 434.1% increase over 46 years. However, this growth has been uneven, with volatility evident in recent years following a sharp 2020 contraction to 5,402.468 USD. The recovery since 2020 has been pronounced and sustained. From the pandemic low, Paraguay's GDP per capita rebounded steadily through 2021 and accelerated through 2025, gaining nearly 1,922 USD in five years. The 2026 projection of 7,324 USD suggests continued expansion, positioning Paraguay well above its historical average and indicating strengthening economic momentum heading into the latter half of the decade.
