What it is. GDP per capita divides the value of everything a country produces in a year by its population, here at current prices in US dollars. Because it is measured in dollars at current prices, movements in the exchange rate and in domestic prices carry through to the figure alongside real growth. It gives a single average per person and leaves out how income is shared, unpaid work, and what a dollar buys locally.
Higher is better. Higher is better because more output per person means more income that can be earned, spent, saved and taxed. The latest figure, for 2025, is $19,449, up from $18,365 a year earlier. That is a rise of $1,085, or 5.9%. Since 2016 the lowest level was $14,041 in 2020 and the highest is the current $19,449, so Seychelles sits at the top of its own range for the period.
Why it matters. For households, output per person of $19,449 sets the ceiling on average earnings and spending in a small island economy, though the average says nothing about who receives it. Firms operate in a market where income per head has recovered fully from the 2020 low. For the state, a higher figure widens the base from which taxes and public services are funded.
