What the numbers say
In 2025, Trinidad and Tobago's GDP per capita (current US$) rose US$233.86 on 2024 (from US$18,733 to US$18,967).

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$4,692 in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was US$6,665 in 2009. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 25% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
