Analysis# Bhutan GDP per Capita (PPP)
Bhutan's GDP per capita (PPP) reached 19,255 international dollars in 2026, marking an all-time high and representing extraordinary economic growth since 1980, when the metric stood at just 577 international dollars. This 3,239% increase over 46 years reflects the nation's sustained development trajectory, positioning it among the region's fastest-growing economies in purchasing power terms.
The recent acceleration proves most striking: from 2017 to 2026, GDP per capita (PPP) grew from 11,341 to 19,255 international dollars—a 70% surge in under a decade. While a minor contraction occurred in 2021, the recovery accelerated sharply thereafter, with year-over-year growth consistently exceeding 7% from 2022 onward. The consistent upward momentum through 2026 suggests Bhutan's economic expansion remains robust, driven by hydroelectric exports, tourism, and domestic development initiatives.
