Guinea-Bissau GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Guinea-Bissau's gni per capita was $1,044 in 2025, ranked 183rd globally. This represents a 5.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1972–2025.
Overview
Guinea-Bissau's gni per capita stood at $1,044 in 2025, a rise of +$54 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $1,044 by 2025. Guinea-Bissau ranked 183rd globally.
Guinea‑Bissau’s gross national income per capita has risen from an early‑recorded US$400.00 in 1972 to a 2025 level of US$1,044.00, placing the country 183rd in the World Bank’s global ranking and marking its all‑time peak. The trajectory was punctuated by a pronounced trough of US$330.00 in 2002, after which modest but steady growth resumed, reflecting limited diversification of the agrarian‑based economy and persistent fiscal constraints. Compared with peers, Guinea‑Bissau’s 2025 GNI per capita trails Mali’s US$1,061.00 and exceeds Chad’s US$977.00, underscoring a marginally better performance within the West African lower‑income cluster. The 54‑year coverage shows that while per‑capita income has more than doubled since the early 1970s, the pace remains slow relative to regional averages. Continued improvements in agricultural productivity, infrastructure investment and political stability will be pivotal to sustain upward momentum and narrow the gap with neighboring economies.
