GDP per capita divides current-US-dollar GDP by population. It is an average, not a wage or a typical household income. Latest: USD 35,951.04 in 2025.
Exchange-rate swings move this series even when domestic output is unchanged. See also PPP per capita. From 1960 to 2025 (66 years): latest USD 35,951.04 (2025), previous year USD 33,797.1 (2024); low USD 519.42 (1960), high USD 49,626.68 (2012).

GDP per capita is an average, not a wage, household income or median. It does not describe distribution. It depends on market exchange rates and the population estimate used as the denominator. PPP per capita provides a comparison at comparable prices.

Country desks use the same observations as the all-countries pages. Displayed observations use each economy’s latest published year, which can differ between economies. Missing observations are not zero and are not interpolated or carried forward. Source revisions appear after a rebuild.
The Country selector changes desks. Chart and Table show the same selected series; range and zoom controls change the view without recalculating observations. Source names and licences identify the producers. The figures are historical information, not forecasts or recommendations.
Taiwan uses DGBAS dataset 44218 for 1980–2025: GDP in current US dollars, GDP per person in current US dollars, and annual real GDP growth in percent. These are the source's published annual values. The dollar series use market-exchange-rate values; they are not purchasing-power-parity measures. Taiwan and Liechtenstein are unavailable in the PPP GDP and PPP-per-capita series until a suitable source with verified commercial-reuse permission is available. Missing observations are not zero. DGBAS dataset 44218 does not supply a PPP replacement. Taiwan's population, GNI, GDP deflator, current account and exports are unavailable on this site. A missing series means this publication has no usable observation from an approved source; it does not mean that no official statistics exist.
