Equatorial Guinea GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Equatorial Guinea's gni per capita was $4,728 in 2025, ranked 131st globally. This represents a 0.3% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1982–2025.
Overview
Equatorial Guinea's gni per capita stood at $4,728 in 2025, a decline of +$12 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $4,728 by 2025. Equatorial Guinea ranked 131st globally.
Equatorial Guinea’s gross national income per capita has risen dramatically from a trough of 110.00 in 1983 to a peak of 11,310.00 in 2008, before settling at 4,728.00 in 2025, ranking 131st globally after 44 years of data. The sharp increase during the early 2000s coincided with the country’s oil boom, which more than doubled GNI per capita between 2000 and 2008, while the subsequent decline reflects volatility in oil prices and limited diversification of the economy. In 2025 the nation’s GNI per capita is marginally below that of Vietnam (4,749.00) and slightly above Jordan (4,593.00), positioning it among lower‑middle‑income peers in Asia and Latin America. The long‑term trajectory suggests that sustained investment in non‑hydrocarbon sectors and improvements in governance could stabilize and potentially raise per‑capita income, while renewed dependence on oil would likely keep the figure volatile.
