Gabon GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Gabon's gni per capita was $8,170 in 2025, ranked 102nd globally. This represents a 4.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Gabon's gni per capita stood at $8,170 in 2025, a rise of +$380 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $8,170 by 2025. Gabon ranked 102nd globally.
Gabon's gross national income per capita has risen from a low of 330.00 in 1964, the all‑time trough, to 8,170.00 in 2025, placing the country 102nd in the world after 64 years of data collection. The post‑oil boom of the early 2000s propelled the indicator upward, culminating in an all‑time peak of 8,880.00 in 2014 before a modest decline amid falling commodity prices and fiscal adjustments. Compared with regional peers, Gabon's 2025 level is close to Botswana’s 8,637.00 and slightly above Azerbaijan’s 8,055.00, reflecting a similar dependence on natural resource exports but differing policy responses to price volatility. While the long‑term trajectory remains upward, sustaining growth will require diversifying the economic base, improving fiscal management, and enhancing human capital, factors that could reinforce the recent recovery and push GNI per capita beyond the 2014 peak.
