Highest GDP per Person at Purchasing-Power Parity
GDP per person at purchasing-power parity, international dollars, latest year: the twenty economies highest in the October 2026 World Economic Outlook
Plays the chart through its history. Pauses are where a new leader takes first place.
Source: IMF World Economic Outlook. The latest year before the edition, often still an IMF estimate; no projections are shown. Country groups are left out. GDP counts what is produced in a place, so economies with many cross-border commuters or large multinational profits rank higher than their residents’ incomes would.
The richest economies by output per person once local prices are accounted for. Small economies fill most of the top places: financial centres, Macao and energy exporters. The United States is the largest economy on the list.
