Liberia GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Liberia's gni per capita was $813 in 2025, ranked 188th globally. This represents a 7.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Liberia's gni per capita stood at $813 in 2025, a rise of +$53 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $813 by 2025. Liberia ranked 188th globally.
Liberia’s gross national income per capita has risen from a low of 80.00 in 1995, the all‑time trough, to a peak of 813.00 in 2025, placing the country 188th in the world after 64 years of coverage. The early post‑conflict period saw stagnant or declining incomes, but gradual macro‑economic reforms and modest growth in services and mining have lifted GNI per capita by more than tenfold since the mid‑1990s. Compared with its closest regional peers, Liberia trails Sierra Leone’s 850.00 and exceeds the Democratic Republic of Congo’s 753.00, reflecting a modestly better performance than some neighbors but still lagging behind Burkina Faso’s 878.00. The upward trajectory is anchored in expanding export commodities and incremental improvements in fiscal management, yet vulnerability to external shocks and limited diversification keep growth fragile. Continued investment in infrastructure and human capital will be critical to sustain the current upward trend and move the country higher in the global ranking.
