Guatemala GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Guatemala's gni per capita was $6,179 in 2025, ranked 118th globally. This represents a 6.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Guatemala's gni per capita stood at $6,179 in 2025, a rise of +$399 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $6,179 by 2025. Guatemala ranked 118th globally.
Guatemala’s gross national income per capita has risen from a trough of 260.00 in 1962 to an all‑time peak of 6,179.00 in 2025, placing the country 118th in the world after 64 years of data. This long‑run increase reflects sustained, albeit uneven, economic expansion, with the most pronounced gains occurring after the early 2000s as export‑oriented agriculture and remittances grew. In 2025 Guatemala’s GNI per capita is marginally lower than that of its nearest peers, Fiji (6,279.00) and Tonga (6,162.00), suggesting that while the country has closed the gap with middle‑income island economies, it still lags behind comparable Latin American and Caribbean nations such as Suriname (5,832.00). The upward trajectory is likely to continue if structural reforms enhance productivity, diversify exports, and improve governance, but any reversal in global commodity prices or a slowdown in remittance flows could alter the path.
