Method & notes
Malaysia ranks third among the 11 ASEAN members on this specific 2025 World Bank measure.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita compares the same World Bank indicator and reference year across all 11 ASEAN members. Current-US-dollar GDP per capita is not PPP-adjusted and can move with exchange rates, so it is an income/economic-scale comparison rather than a cost-of-living ranking.
- Malaysia is 3/11 in this ASEAN comparison at US$13,124.6 per person.
- Singapore and Brunei Darussalam are above Malaysia on this measure; Thailand is the next ASEAN economy below Malaysia.
- Current US dollars should not be read as household income or purchasing power.
- World Bank values can be revised; this V1 snapshot is fixed to the 2025 values available on 3 Oct 2026.
