The per capita gross domestic product of Bangladesh is estimated to be higher that of India in 2026, according to the International Monetary Fund’s April 2026 outlook.
The per capita gross domestic product of Bangladesh at current prices is estimated to be $2,911 against India’s $2,812, according to the data in IMF’s World Economic Outlook published on April 14.
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 $7,500. The global average is about $15,600.
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.
India’s per capita gross domestic product in 2027 is estimated to be $3,074, ahead of Bangladesh’s $3048, the data showed. India is projected to lead Bangladesh in terms of per capita gross domestic product till at least 2031, according to the International Monetary Fund.
India’s overall gross domestic product in 2026 is estimated to be $4.1 trillion, ahead of Bangladesh’s $510 billion.
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.
The International Monetary Fund said that the global economy had been threatened with being thrown off course because of the war in West Asia.
“Over the past year, headwinds from higher trade barriers and elevated uncertainty have been offset by tailwinds from technology-related investment; accommodative financial conditions, including a weaker US dollar; and fiscal and monetary policy support,” the organisation said.
The conflict in West Asia presents a “significant counterforce to these tailwinds” through its impact on commodity markets, inflation expectations and financial conditions, it added.
The International Monetary Fund said that global growth is projected to be 3.1% in 2026 and 3.2% in 2027, slower than 3.4% in 2024-’25.
