Analysis# Venezuela GDP per Capita
Venezuela's GDP per capita stands at $2,972.27 USD in 2026, representing a severe economic contraction over four decades. The nation peaked at $12,688.11 USD in 2012, meaning current output per person has declined 77% from that high. Since 1980, per capita GDP has fallen 36.4%, reflecting broader macroeconomic deterioration. The 2020 nadir of $1,532.62 USD marked the country's weakest recorded level across the 46-year data range.
The trajectory since 2020 reveals modest recovery followed by renewed decline. GDP per capita rebounded sharply from 2020–2024, climbing to $4,510.45 USD, suggesting temporary stabilization efforts. However, 2025–2026 data shows reversal, with per capita income dropping 34% from the 2024 peak. This volatility underscores Venezuela's ongoing economic instability and suggests sustained recovery remains elusive despite recent intermittent gains.
