Analysis# El Salvador GDP per Capita (PPP)
El Salvador's GDP per capita (PPP) reached 14,407 international dollars in 2026, marking an all-time high. The figure represents a remarkable 529% increase since 1980, when the metric stood at just 2,291 international dollars. This nearly six-fold expansion reflects decades of economic development, though the country remains below the regional average for Central America.
The most striking acceleration occurred between 2020 and 2026. Following a pandemic-induced dip in 2020 (9,393 international dollars), El Salvador entered a sustained growth phase, adding over 5,000 international dollars to per capita income in six years. Annual gains averaged 750 international dollars from 2021 onward, significantly outpacing the slower progress of earlier decades, suggesting structural economic improvements or favorable external conditions driving recent momentum.
