Measured in constant 2021 international dollars, which adjust for differences in prices between countries, GDP per person in Bangladesh reached $8,677 in 2025. That is 3.2 times the $2,713 of 2000 and 4.2 times the $2,070 of 1990.
$2,713 → $8,677
GDP per person, PPP (constant 2021 international $), 2000 to 2025.
The climb has been steady rather than dramatic: the series rose every year, including 2020, when it grew just 2.6% in the pandemic. Growth has since cooled, to 2.2% in 2025 (from $8,487 in 2024), against a 2019–2025 gain of 27%.
Seen against regional peers, the picture is mixed. In 2000 Bangladesh was behind India ($3,010), Pakistan ($3,532) and Sri Lanka ($6,429). By 2025 it had overtaken Pakistan ($5,617) and Nepal ($5,277), but India ($10,039) had widened its lead: Bangladesh stood at 86% of India’s level, down from 90% in 2000, and the dollar gap had grown from about $300 to about $1,360. Viet Nam ($15,457) and Sri Lanka ($14,583) remain well ahead.
Averages say nothing about distribution. GDP per person is a national average and does not show how income is shared or how many households live near the poverty line; it is also a modelled, price-adjusted estimate, so levels can be revised when the International Comparison Program updates its price surveys.
