# Saudi Arabia → United States economic convergence

Indicator: GDP per capita (PPP) (constant 2021 international $)
Latest shared data: 2025
Saudi Arabia: $63,051

Saudi Arabia is at 82% of United States.

## Scenario

Saudi Arabia annual growth: 0.8% (trailing 10-year average)
United States annual growth: 1.8% (trailing 10-year average)

## Result

If Saudi Arabia grew 0.8% a year and United States 1.8% a year, Saudi Arabia would never catch up with United States on GDP per capita (PPP).
