São Tomé and Príncipe's GDP per capita (PPP) reached 6,751.88 international dollars in 2026, marking its all-time peak. Since 1980, the nation has grown 349.7%, climbing from a low of 1,424.91 international dollars in 1987. This arc reflects decades of economic development, though the island nation remains among Africa's lower-income economies by regional standards.

Between 2017 and 2026, GDP per capita (PPP) nearly doubled, expanding from 3,436.30 to 6,751.88 international dollars.
