Analysis# Samoa GDP per Capita (PPP)
Samoa's GDP per capita (PPP) reached 8,626.374 international dollars in 2026, marking its all-time peak. This represents a dramatic 220.9% increase since 1998, when the metric stood at just 2,687.816 international dollars. The Pacific island nation has transformed its economic output per person over nearly three decades, though the current figure remains modest by global standards.
A sharp acceleration began in 2022, with growth accelerating from 6,290.323 to 8,626.374 international dollars by 2026. The period from 2017 to 2021 saw relative stagnation, hovering around 5,700–5,900 international dollars, but momentum reversed decisively from 2022 onward. This recent upward trajectory suggests sustained economic expansion driven by tourism recovery, remittances, or development initiatives, positioning Samoa on a growth path that has delivered consecutive annual gains in living standards.
