Guinea GDP per Capita (1970–2025)

Overview

Guinea's gdp per capita stood at $1,741 in 2025, a rise of +$46 from 2024. The IMF projects $1,741 by 2025. Guinea ranked 156th globally.

Guinea’s GDP per capita has risen modestly from 752.82 in 1970 to 1,741.14 in 2025, placing the country 156th in the World Bank ranking and slightly below peers such as Comoros (1,773.10) and Pakistan (1,706.91). The indicator peaked in 1985 at 4,061.70 before falling dramatically to a trough of 446.98 in 2006, reflecting the combined impact of commodity price volatility, political instability and limited diversification over a 56‑year span. Since the 2006 low, gradual recovery has been driven by modest improvements in mining output and modest expansion of services, yet growth has been uneven, keeping the current level well beneath the 1985 high. Compared with Senegal (1,921.39) and Tajikistan (1,643.99), Guinea remains below regional averages, underscoring the need for structural reforms and investment in human capital. If reforms succeed and global demand for bauxite strengthens, the upward trajectory could accelerate, narrowing the gap with its peers.
