Lebanon GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Lebanon's gni per capita was $684 in 2025, ranked 192nd globally. This represents a 81.5% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Lebanon's gni per capita stood at $684 in 2025, a decline of +$3,016 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $684 by 2025. Lebanon ranked 192nd globally.
Lebanon’s gross national income per capita has collapsed from its all‑time peak of 8,700.00 in 2018 to a trough of 684.00 in 2025, placing the country at rank 192 out of 193 reporting economies. The 35‑year series shows a steep, uninterrupted decline after 2018, erasing more than 90 percent of the income level recorded just seven years earlier. By contrast, regional peers such as Niger (700.00) and Sudan (740.00) remain slightly above Lebanon’s 2025 figure, underscoring the severity of the downturn relative to comparable low‑income states. The early‑1990s baseline of 1,020.00 already exceeded today’s level, indicating that the current trough is lower than the country’s post‑civil‑war average. Persistent macro‑economic instability, fiscal deficits and currency depreciation have driven the collapse, and unless structural reforms and external financing materialise, the downward trajectory is likely to continue in the near term.
