Costa Rica's GNI per Capita has demonstrated a remarkable upward trend over the past six decades, with the country's ranking among nations globally shifting significantly. Starting from a meager 360.00 in 1962, Costa Rica's per capita income has grown steadily, reaching an all-time high of 16,325.00 in 2025. Notably, this figure surpasses that of the Russian Federation, which ranked 74th globally with a GNI per Capita of 16,629.00. The country's economic progress has been marked by a notable increase in living standards, with the latest figure representing a substantial improvement from the trough of 350.00 in 1964. While Costa Rica's economic trajectory has been positive, its ranking remains below that of Bulgaria, which had a GNI per Capita of 16,828.00 in 2025. A decline in global economic activity or a shift in regional economic policies could potentially alter Costa Rica's trajectory and impact its GNI per Capita in the coming years.
