Jamaica GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Jamaica's gni per capita was $7,753 in 2025, ranked 106th globally. This represents a 7.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1968–2025.
Overview
Jamaica's gni per capita stood at $7,753 in 2025, a rise of +$543 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $7,753 by 2025. Jamaica ranked 106th globally.
Jamaica’s gross national income per capita rose from a low of 620.00 in 1968 to an all‑time peak of 7,753.00 in 2025, placing the country 106th globally among 190 economies. This 1,150 percent increase over 58 years reflects sustained, albeit uneven, growth driven by tourism, remittances and modest diversification of services. The latest figure of 7,753.00 is marginally below peer Belize’s 7,807.00 and Peru’s 7,837.00, yet above Kosovo’s 7,504.00, underscoring Jamaica’s relative progress within the lower‑middle‑income cohort. Despite the long‑term upward trajectory, the pace has slowed in recent years as external shocks to tourism and fiscal constraints have limited further gains. Continued investment in high‑value sectors such as renewable energy and digital services, together with resilience‑building against climate risks, will be crucial to sustain the upward trend and potentially lift Jamaica’s GNI per capita beyond its current peak.
