Income per Person (GDP per capita, PPP) in Albania: 1800 to Today (and Tomorrow)

At MYRIAD, we examine the statistics of human lives to understand the tangible realities behind economic measures. For Albania, we look at the average yearly economic output per person, adjusted for purchasing power in international dollars. Every single value tells a statistical fact about the lives actually lived there across three centuries. These figures measure the material conditions that shape daily existence, capturing the shifting scale of resources available for sustenance, labor, and community across generations.

The historical arc traces a steady progression from the 1800s estimate of 2,000 intl-$ upward through the decades. By 1900 it was 4,500 intl-$, and in the 2020s, income per person (gdp per capita, ppp) in Albania stands at 38,000 intl-$ — ranking #27 of 157 countries. Projections extend this trajectory into the future, moving from the 2030s projection of 43,700 intl-$ all the way to the 2100s projection of 116,243 intl-$, mapping the long-term expansion of economic output over time.

If you were born in Albania across these different eras, your economic world would look vastly different, shifting from the 1850s estimate of 3,250 intl-$ to the 1950s figure of 7,000 intl-$ and the 2000s level of 26,000 intl-$. This continuous numerical climb defines the changing baseline of human capability and wealth accumulation available to you over the centuries.
