GDP per Capita: Zimbabwe

Analysis# Zimbabwe GDP per Capita Zimbabwe's GDP per capita stood at $3,126.85 in 2026, representing a 104.2% increase since 1990 despite significant volatility. The country reached its peak of $3,602.04 in 2018, nearly 4.4 times higher than the devastating low of $817.63 in 2008. Current levels remain 13.2% below the 2018 peak, indicating partial recovery from the economic turbulence of the preceding decade. The sharp decline from 2018 to 2019—dropping from $3,602 to $2,605—marked a critical turning point, likely reflecting currency instability and inflation pressures. Recovery has been uneven, with 2023 hitting $2,669 before climbing back above $3,100 in recent years. The upward trajectory from 2023 onwards suggests stabilization efforts may be gaining traction, though volatility remains a defining characteristic of Zimbabwe's recent economic performance.
