How to read this figure

GDP per capita measures economic output per person, not personal wealth or living standards. It can be substantially inflated where a large share of output is generated by multinational corporations or by cross-border workers who are not counted in the resident population. Ireland's figure, for example, is raised by multinational profit-shifting — its own statistics office reports a modified measure (GNI*) for this reason — and Luxembourg's by commuters who contribute to GDP but live abroad. For comparing living standards, GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) is more reliable.

Analysis# Yemen GDP per Capita Yemen's GDP per capita stands at $401.28 USD in 2026, reflecting a dramatic 55.9% decline since 1990. The country's economy has contracted sharply from its peak of $1,735.04 in 1994, now hovering near historical lows. The 2026 figure represents a continued deterioration, with per capita income falling to levels last seen in the late 1990s. The past decade reveals accelerating economic collapse. From 2017 to 2026, GDP per capita dropped 50.5%, from $811.17 to $401.28. While a modest recovery occurred in 2022 ($615.70), the subsequent years show relentless decline, losing nearly $214 annually between 2022 and 2026. Projections suggest Yemen's economy will remain under severe pressure through 2030 without significant intervention.
