Gross Domestic Product in current US dollars NY.GDP.MKTP.CD

Overview
Jamaica's gdp stood at $23.1B in 2025, a rise of +$1.1B from 2024. The IMF projects $23.1B by 2025. Jamaica ranked 122nd globally.
Jamaica’s gross domestic product has risen from a trough of 699,064,380.37 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 23,137,000,000.00 in 2025, placing the island nation at rank 122 globally and representing 66 years of growth. The expansion reflects a compound increase of more than 3,200 % and outpaces several regional peers, such as Niger’s 22,969,000,000.00 and Benin’s 24,402,000,000.00, although it remains modest relative to Mozambique’s 24,726,000,000.00. The upward trajectory has been driven by diversification into tourism, services and remittances, while structural constraints in energy and infrastructure have limited faster acceleration. Continued investment in renewable energy and higher‑value manufacturing could sustain the current momentum, but adverse shocks to the tourism sector or fiscal imbalances would likely temper future growth.
