Ghana GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Ghana's gni per capita was $2,338 in 2025, ranked 158th globally. This represents a 1.2% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Ghana's gni per capita stood at $2,338 in 2025, a rise of +$28 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $2,338 by 2025. Ghana ranked 158th globally.
Ghana’s gross national income per capita has risen from a historic low of 190.00 in 1963 to 2,338.00 in 2025, placing the country 158th in the world and reflecting a 64‑year trajectory of gradual improvement. The all‑time peak of 2,400.00 recorded in 2022 illustrates that recent growth has approached the highest level achieved to date, while the early‑stage trough underscores the depth of the country’s initial development challenge. Ghana’s current figure is close to that of the Kyrgyz Republic (2,369.00) and the Republic of Congo (2,317.00), indicating a comparable position among lower‑middle‑income economies. The steady climb has been driven by expanding services, modest industrialisation, and remittance inflows, yet the gap to the regional leader, Cambodia at 2,657.00, remains. Continued diversification, higher productivity in agriculture and manufacturing, and sustained investment in human capital will be crucial to push GNI per capita beyond the 2022 peak and accelerate Ghana’s upward trajectory.
