Guyana GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Guyana's gni per capita was $22,936 in 2025, ranked 63rd globally. This represents a 13.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Guyana's gni per capita stood at $22,936 in 2025, a rise of +$2,796 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $22,936 by 2025. Guyana ranked 63rd globally.
Guyana’s gross national income per capita has risen dramatically from a trough of 260.00 in 1963 to an all‑time peak of 22,936.00 in 2025, placing the country 63rd globally among 190 economies. This 8,700‑percent increase over 64 years reflects structural shifts driven by offshore oil discoveries, expanded mining, and greater integration into international markets. The latest figure of 22,936.00 is only marginally below Poland’s 23,036.00 and close to Antigua and Barbuda’s 22,819.00, underscoring Guyana’s emergence among middle‑income peers despite its smaller population. Nevertheless, the per‑capita income remains modest relative to regional leaders such as Uruguay, which records 22,780.00, suggesting that sustaining high growth will require diversification beyond extractive sectors and continued investment in human capital. If fiscal policy supports broader economic participation, the upward trajectory of GNI per capita is likely to continue, albeit at a potentially slower pace.
