GDP divided by midyear population NY.GDP.PCAP.CD

Overview
Djibouti's gdp per capita stood at $4,369 in 2025, a rise of +$816 from 2024. The IMF projects $4,369 by 2025. Djibouti ranked 127th globally.
Djibouti’s gross domestic product per capita has risen from 846.79 in 1985 to a 2025 level of 4,368.54, placing the country 127th in the world and matching its all‑time peak. The low point of 732.73 occurred in 1991, after which a steady climb began, reflecting expanding port services, foreign investment and modest diversification of the economy. Over the 40‑year span the increase averages roughly 88.5 units per year, outpacing many peers; for example, the Philippines recorded 4,320.56 and Eswatini 4,409.53 in the same year, indicating Djibouti’s relative convergence toward the middle‑income bracket. The upward trajectory has been reinforced by strategic infrastructure projects and the growth of logistics hubs, yet it remains vulnerable to regional security dynamics and fluctuations in global trade flows. Continued investment in human capital and broader economic diversification would be needed to sustain the current upward trend and push the per‑capita figure beyond the 2025 peak.
