GDP (Gross Domestic Product): Bhutan

Analysis# Bhutan GDP (Gross Domestic Product) Bhutan's economy reached 3.771 USD billion in 2026, marking its all-time peak since records began in 1980. The nation has experienced extraordinary growth over nearly five decades, expanding from a mere 0.132 USD billion in 1980—a staggering 2,756.8% increase. This trajectory reflects Bhutan's transformation from one of the world's least developed economies to a small but growing regional player. Recent momentum has accelerated significantly. Between 2017 and 2023, GDP growth remained steady but moderate, hovering between 2.4 and 2.9 USD billion. However, 2024 onwards shows renewed dynamism, with GDP climbing 5.7% from 2023 to 2024, then jumping another 10% to reach 3.408 USD billion by 2025. Current projections suggest sustained expansion will carry the economy toward 3.8 USD billion and beyond.
