Analysis# Yemen GDP per Capita (PPP)
Yemen's GDP per capita (PPP) stands at 1,656.71 international dollars in 2026, marking the lowest point in the available dataset. The country has experienced severe economic contraction since its peak of 3,603.03 international dollars in 2010—a decline of 54%. Overall, Yemen's purchasing power adjusted income has contracted 4.9% since 1990, reflecting decades of economic instability and deteriorating living standards.
The sharpest deterioration occurred after 2010, with a particularly steep drop in 2020 when GDP per capita fell to 1,661 international dollars. While 2021–2023 showed modest recovery, reaching 1,767 international dollars in 2022, the trend reversed sharply in 2024–2026. Projections indicate continued decline through 2026, with no evidence of recovery on the horizon. Yemen's economic trajectory reflects prolonged conflict and institutional collapse rather than cyclical recession.
