Overview
Belgium's gni per capita stood at $59,212 in 2025, a rise of +$3,922 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $59,212 by 2025. Belgium ranked 18th globally.
Belgium’s gross national income per capita has risen dramatically from a trough of 1,480.00 in 1962 to an all‑time peak of 59,212.00 in 2025, placing the country 18th globally among 190 economies. This 39‑fold increase over 64 years reflects sustained industrial diversification, high‑value services, and strong integration within the European Union, which has facilitated trade, investment and labor mobility. The latest figure of 59,212.00 is narrowly below the level recorded for Hong Kong SAR, China (59,053.00) and only marginally lower than Canada’s 58,352.00, underscoring Belgium’s position among advanced, export‑oriented economies. While the upward trajectory has been consistent, future growth will depend on the country’s ability to adapt to digital transformation, maintain fiscal discipline and navigate demographic aging, which could moderate the pace of GNI per capita expansion.
