This is a list of African countries by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP). GDP (PPP) per capita is given in international dollars. Note that the list excludes overseas departments Mayotte and Réunion (France), both west of Mauritius.
PPP largely removes the exchange rate problem, but has its own drawbacks; it does not reflect the value of economic output in international trade, and it also requires more estimation than nominal GDP. [4] On the whole, PPP per capita figures are more narrowly spread than nominal GDP per capita figures. [5]
This is a list of countries by nominal GDP per capita. GDP per capita is often considered an indicator of a country's standard of living; [1] [2] however, this is inaccurate because GDP per capita is not a measure of personal income. Measures of personal income include average wage, real income, median income, disposable income and GNI per capita.
On the whole, PPP per capita figures are more narrowly spread than nominal GDP per capita figures. The following lists summarise the GDP (nominal) of each continent by adding GDP (nominal) of each nation as per the seven-continent model, sorted by USD. The first list includes 2024 data estimates n1 for members of the International Monetary Fund ...
Economic growth in the early 2020s According to 2024 estimates by the African Development Bank Group, African countries are projected to account for more than half of the world fastest growing economies; in particular, Niger, Senegal, Libya and Rwanda are expected to grow at the fastest rate of over 7% per year. Estimates of Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate in 2023 show that most ...
For resource-intensive nations, real per capita GDP is anticipated to stay below pre-pandemic levels until at least 2024, with growth of barely 1% per year in 2022 and 2023. Before the pandemic, 2% or more of growth had been anticipated. [57] [58] In 2023, East Africa had the largest crowding out pressures, whereas North Africa had the lowest. [59]
A country's gross domestic product (GDP) at purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita is the PPP value of all final goods and services produced within an economy in a given year, divided by the average (or mid-year) population for the same year. This is similar to nominal GDP per capita but adjusted for the cost of living in each country.
