Analysis# Nicaragua GDP per Capita (PPP)
Nicaragua's GDP per capita (PPP) reached 9,401.994 international dollars in 2026, marking the country's all-time high. This represents a remarkable 302.9% increase since 1994, when the metric stood at just 2,333.677 international dollars. The three-decade trajectory reflects substantial economic growth, though the country remains in the lower-middle income range globally.
The period from 2017 to 2020 saw economic contraction, with GDP per capita declining from 6,126 to a low of 5,865 international dollars. Recovery began in 2021 and has accelerated consistently since, gaining nearly 3,500 international dollars over five years. Current projections suggest continued upward momentum, positioning Nicaragua on a clear growth path through the remainder of the decade.
