Overview
Cameroon's gni per capita stood at $1,755 in 2025, a rise of +$55 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $1,755 by 2025. Cameroon ranked 167th globally.
Cameroon’s gross national income per capita has risen from a trough of 120.00 in 1967 to an all‑time peak of 1,755.00 in 2025, placing the country 167th in the global ranking and situating it alongside peers such as Senegal (1,750.00) and Tajikistan (1,767.00). Over the 59‑year coverage period the upward trajectory reflects gradual diversification of the economy, modest improvements in agricultural productivity, and expanding services, yet the level remains well below regional averages and indicates limited progress in translating growth into broad‑based income gains. The long‑run increase of more than 1,600 percent underscores structural changes, but the persistence of low‑income status suggests that further advances will depend on deepening human‑capital investments, enhancing infrastructure, and fostering a more competitive private sector. Continued reforms and integration into regional value chains could sustain the positive trend and accelerate movement toward higher income brackets.
