Burundi's Gross National Income per Capita has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 64 years, with a current ranking of 199 globally, at 280.00. The country reached its all-time peak of 290.00 in 2022, and its all-time trough of 50.00 in 1969, illustrating a substantial improvement in economic well-being.

When compared to its peer countries, Burundi's economic performance is closest to that of Afghanistan, which ranks slightly higher at 258.00.

A significant increase in foreign investment or a substantial improvement in agricultural productivity could potentially alter Burundi's economic trajectory, leading to an acceleration in its GNI per Capita growth.
