Analysis# Tanzania GDP per Capita
Tanzania's GDP per capita reached 1,378.33 USD in 2026, matching its all-time peak. Since 1980, the metric has grown 128.6%, rising from a baseline near 600 USD to its current level. The country's lowest point occurred in 1993 at 190.68 USD, reflecting economic challenges during that period. Over four decades, Tanzania has demonstrated consistent recovery and expansion, though growth rates have varied significantly across different periods.
Recent years show accelerating momentum. From 2017 to 2020, GDP per capita grew modestly from 1,017.44 USD to 1,092.61 USD. The pace quickened substantially between 2021 and 2026, with gains of 240.47 USD in just five years. A minor contraction in 2024 (to 1,214.70 USD) interrupted the trend briefly, but strong recovery followed in 2025–2026. This upward trajectory suggests Tanzania's economy continues strengthening, positioning the country for sustained development.
