Analysis# Samoa GDP per Capita
Samoa's GDP per capita reached 6,252.63 USD in 2026, marking its all-time peak since records began in 1998. This represents a remarkable 277.6% increase over the 28-year period, though the metric remains modest by global standards. The nation's per capita income has grown from a low of 1,509.12 USD in 1999, demonstrating sustained economic development across nearly three decades.
A sharp recovery began in 2023, when GDP per capita climbed to 5,009.43 USD after several years of stagnation between 2017 and 2022. The upward momentum has accelerated since, with consecutive annual gains of 573.58 USD (2023–2024), 304.58 USD (2024–2025), and 366.04 USD (2025–2026). This acceleration suggests strengthening economic fundamentals driving Samoa toward continued growth in the near term.
