GDP per Capita: Suriname

Analysis# Suriname GDP per Capita Suriname's GDP per capita reached $7,300.50 in 2026, marking a substantial recovery from recent lows but remaining 27% below its peak of $9,966.71 in 2014. Since 1990, the metric has expanded 416.9%, climbing from just $1,093.84 to current levels. This long-term growth reflects the nation's economic development, though the trajectory reveals significant volatility tied to commodity cycles and macroeconomic shocks. The 2014 peak preceded a sharp decline through the early 2020s, with GDP per capita plummeting to $4,782.09 in 2020 amid global disruptions. A recovery began in 2021 and gained momentum through 2024–2026, with recent years showing steady growth. The upward trend from 2024 onward ($6,880.59 to $7,300.50) suggests stabilization, though Suriname remains vulnerable to external economic pressures characteristic of resource-dependent economies.
