Analysis# Costa Rica GDP per Capita (PPP)
Costa Rica's GDP per capita (PPP) reached 32,830.962 international dollars in 2026, marking an all-time peak. The country has achieved remarkable economic growth since 1980, when the metric stood at just 4,142.028 international dollars—a 686.6% increase over 46 years. This sustained expansion reflects Costa Rica's transition from a primarily agricultural economy to one with stronger services and technology sectors.
The 2020 pandemic caused a brief dip to 21,694.418 international dollars, but recovery began immediately in 2021. Growth accelerated dramatically from 2022 onward, climbing from 26,159.007 to the current peak, representing seven consecutive years of gains. Projections through 2026 suggest Costa Rica continues its upward trajectory as a regional economic leader in Central America.
