GDP per Capita (PPP): Saudi Arabia

Analysis# Saudi Arabia GDP per Capita (PPP) Saudi Arabia's GDP per capita (PPP) reached 77,484.786 international dollars in 2026, marking its all-time peak. Since 1980, the metric has more than doubled, growing 104.5% over 46 years despite significant volatility. The country's purchasing power per capita in 1987 stood at just 24,345.82 international dollars—less than a third of current levels—illustrating the dramatic economic expansion driven by oil revenues and diversification efforts. The 2020 pandemic triggered a sharp contraction to 47,478.375 international dollars, but recovery proved swift and sustained. From 2021 onward, growth accelerated markedly, rising from 62,690.497 in 2021 through 71,956.61 in 2022, reaching today's record high. The trajectory suggests continued momentum through 2026, reflecting both higher oil prices and progress in Vision 2030 economic reforms aimed at reducing petroleum dependence.
