Analysis# Vanuatu GDP per Capita
Vanuatu's GDP per capita stands at $3,184.84 USD in 2026, reflecting modest economic conditions in this Pacific island nation. The figure remains below the all-time peak of $3,371.24 USD reached in 2023, though substantially above the historical low of $918.68 USD in 1986. Over the past 46 years, the metric has grown 202.2%, indicating meaningful long-term development despite considerable volatility.
Recent years reveal significant fluctuations rather than steady growth. A sharp contraction occurred in 2021, when GDP per capita fell to $2,951.69 USD, likely tied to pandemic-related disruptions. Recovery followed in 2022 and 2023, but subsequent years have shown modest decline. The 2026 projection suggests stabilization near current levels, with marginal gains expected as the economy consolidates after earlier volatility.
