Overview
Eswatini's gdp per capita stood at $4,410 in 2025, a rise of +$500 from 2024. The IMF projects $4,410 by 2025. Eswatini ranked 126th globally.
Eswatini’s GDP per capita has risen from a trough of 101.57 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 4,409.53 in 2025, placing the kingdom at rank 126 globally among 190 economies. Over the 66‑year span, the average annual increase amounts to roughly 64.5, reflecting gradual structural diversification and modest improvements in productivity. The 2025 figure remains slightly below that of peer Bolivia (4,585.18) and Djibouti (4,368.54), suggesting that Eswatini’s growth, while steady, lags behind comparable lower‑middle‑income nations. The long‑term upward trajectory is anchored in expanding services and modest manufacturing gains, yet the pace is constrained by limited foreign investment and persistent labor market rigidities. Continued reforms in fiscal policy, coupled with efforts to enhance human capital and attract export‑oriented industries, would be required to accelerate growth and narrow the gap with its peers.
