The International Monetary Fund has pegged Bangladesh’s per capita gross domestic product to be higher than that of India in 2026 in its October 2026 outlook.
The per capita gross domestic product of Bangladesh at current prices is estimated to be $2,886 against India’s $2,749, according to the data in IMF’s World Economic Outlook published on October 13.
Per capita gross domestic product is a measure of a country’s economic output per person. It is calculated by dividing the country's gross domestic product by its population.
The average per capita gross domestic product in emerging markets and developing economies is about $7,746. The global average is about $15,889.
The report published on April 14 said that the per capita gross domestic product of Bangladesh at current prices is estimated to be $2,911 against India’s $2,812.
In 2025, India’s per capita gross domestic product was $2,675, marginally ahead of Bangladesh’s $2,635. However, Bangladesh was leading India in 2023 and 2024, the data showed.
The World Economic Outlook is a survey usually published twice a year that analyses the global economy and makes projections in the near and medium terms.
