Eritrea GNI per Capita (1994–2011)

Overview

Eritrea's gni per capita stood at $650 in 2011, a rise of +$100 from 2010. Eritrea ranked 188th globally.

Eritrea’s gross national income per capita rose from 310.00 in 1994 to a peak of 650.00 in 2011, placing the country 188th out of 191 economies in the World Bank series. The all‑time trough of 300.00 was recorded in 1995, after which modest but steady gains lifted the indicator by more than double over the 18‑year coverage period. By 2011 Eritrea’s GNI per capita was marginally lower than that of peer nations such as Guinea‑Bissau (660.00) and Rwanda (640.00), reflecting a similar low‑income profile across the region. The upward trajectory, while modest, suggests that continued improvements in agricultural productivity and modest integration into regional trade could sustain incremental growth, although any reversal in political stability or external aid flows would likely impede progress.
