Analysis# Palau GDP per Capita (PPP)
Palau's GDP per capita (PPP) reached 19,991 international dollars in 2026, marking its all-time peak. The nation has expanded its purchasing power substantially since 2000, when the metric stood at 8,505 international dollars—a 135% increase over 26 years. This growth trajectory reflects gradual economic development, though not without volatility along the way.
A sharp contraction occurred between 2019 and 2021, with GDP per capita dropping from 15,643 to 13,736 international dollars, likely reflecting pandemic-related disruptions. Recovery accelerated from 2022 onward, with particularly strong gains in 2024 and 2025 that propelled the economy toward its record level. The upward momentum suggests Palau's economy is on a sustained growth path.
