Overview
Cabo Verde's gni per capita stood at $5,449 in 2025, a rise of +$499 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $5,449 by 2025. Cabo Verde ranked 126th globally.
Cabo Verde’s gross national income per capita has risen dramatically from a low of 450.00 in 1982 to an all‑time peak of 5,449.00 in 2025, placing the country at 126th in the world. The trough of 400.00 recorded in 1985 underscores how the early 1980s represented a period of severe income constraints, after which sustained reforms and tourism‑driven growth propelled a more than twelve‑fold increase over four decades. The 2025 figure is marginally lower than the 5,514.00 recorded by Iran, Islamic Republic of, and close to Indonesia’s 5,284.00, indicating that Cabo Verde now competes with middle‑income economies in the Asia‑Pacific and Middle East. The 44‑year coverage shows a consistent upward trajectory, with the most pronounced gains occurring after the mid‑1990s when structural adjustments and investment in renewable energy began to bear fruit. Continued diversification of exports and deeper integration into global value chains will be crucial to maintain this positive momentum.
