Overview
Costa Rica's gni stood at $94.2B in 2025, a rise of +$5.8B from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $94.2B by 2025. Costa Rica ranked 71st globally.
Costa Rica’s gross national income (GNI) has risen dramatically from a trough of 469,634,667.15 in 1962 to an all‑time peak of 94,237,117,983.41 in 2025, placing the country 71st globally and representing 66 years of continuous growth. The early 1960s figure of 502,758,192.43 underscores the modest size of the economy at the start of the measurement period, while the 2025 level surpasses regional peers such as Panama (91,726,544,692.52) and approaches Croatia’s 101,084,823,022.78. This upward trajectory reflects sustained diversification into high‑value services, tourism, and renewable energy, supported by political stability and investment in human capital. Nevertheless, the modest gap with higher‑ranked peers suggests room for further expansion, particularly through export‑oriented manufacturing and digital innovation. Continued reforms and integration into global value chains are likely to maintain the positive trend, potentially propelling Costa Rica into the top sixty GNI rankings within the next decade.
