GDP per Capita (PPP): Benin

Analysis# Benin GDP per Capita (PPP) Benin's GDP per capita (PPP) reached 4,981.947 international dollars in 2026, marking its all-time peak. This figure represents a dramatic 409.5% increase since 1980, when the country's GDP per capita stood at just 977.723 international dollars. The nation has climbed steadily from its historical low, though growth remained modest through much of the 1980s and 1990s. Acceleration began around 2017, with GDP per capita growing from 2,901.594 to 3,215.664 international dollars by 2019. Since then, momentum has intensified considerably—the metric surged 53.6% between 2019 and 2026 alone. This sustained upward trajectory suggests Benin's economy has entered a stronger growth phase, with projections indicating continued expansion through the remainder of the decade.
