GDP per Capita (PPP): Bahamas, The

Analysis# Bahamas, The GDP per Capita (PPP) The Bahamas' GDP per capita (PPP) reached 43,223 international dollars in 2026, marking its all-time peak. This figure represents a remarkable 236% increase since 1980, when the metric stood at just 12,866 international dollars. The nation has nearly quadrupled its purchasing power-adjusted income over this four-decade span, reflecting sustained economic development despite periodic volatility. The 2020 pandemic delivered a sharp contraction to 27,655 international dollars—the steepest single-year decline in the dataset. Recovery began in 2021 and accelerated consistently through 2026, with growth averaging 2,500 to 2,600 international dollars annually since 2021. This upward trajectory suggests the Bahamas has overcome its pandemic shock and returned to a robust expansion path, with projections through 2030 indicating continued momentum in living standards.
