What the numbers say
In 2025, Philippines' GDP per capita (current US$) rose US$185.43 on 2024 (from US$3,985 to US$4,171).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +US$97.51 and a typical year strayed about US$141.16 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$298.46 in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was US$290.41 in 1998. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$128.34 a year. A straight line explains 94% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about US$4,366 for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was US$274.5, against US$438.63 for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

What this measures
Gross domestic product is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period. It can be measured in three different ways: using either the expenditure approach, the income approach, or the production approach. The core indicator has been divided by the general population to achieve a per capita estimate.This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
