GDP per Capita: Syria

Analysis# Syria GDP per Capita Syria's GDP per capita reached $2,806.69 in 2010, approaching its historical peak of $2,823.16 set in 1987. The metric has grown 97.4% since 1980, though the country experienced significant volatility across three decades. The all-time low of $800.86 in 1989 marked a severe contraction from which recovery took years to materialize. The 2000s demonstrated remarkable expansion, with GDP per capita nearly doubling from $1,236.90 in 2001 to $2,806.69 by 2010. Annual growth accelerated sharply after 2005, increasing from $1,726.03 to $2,557.21 over just three years. This sustained upward trajectory suggests economic strengthening during the decade, though the data concludes before subsequent regional disruptions altered Syria's economic trajectory.
