Gross Domestic Product in current US dollars NY.GDP.MKTP.CD
Liberia's gdp was $5.2B in 2025, ranked 154th globally. This represents a 8.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Liberia's gdp stood at $5.2B in 2025, a rise of +$402.7M from 2024. The IMF projects $5.2B by 2025. Liberia ranked 154th globally.
Liberia’s gross domestic product reached US$5,182,000,000.00 in 2025, placing it 154th in the world and marking an all‑time peak that matches the most recent estimate. The economy’s trajectory has been volatile: after a deep trough of US$132,200,000.00 in 1994, output expanded more than thirty‑ninefold over the subsequent three decades, reflecting post‑conflict reconstruction, modest oil‑sector growth and gradual diversification. Compared with peer economies of similar size, Liberia’s 2025 GDP is slightly below Eswatini’s US$5,201,000,000.00 and marginally above South Sudan’s US$4,979,000,000.00, underscoring a competitive but constrained position within the low‑income bracket. The 66‑year coverage shows a long‑term upward trend, yet per‑capita income remains low and external shocks, such as commodity price swings, could reverse gains. Continued investment in infrastructure and human capital will be critical to sustain the current growth path and move the economy beyond its recent plateau.
