Libya GNI (1960–2025)

Overview

Libya's gni stood at $51.0B in 2025, a decline of +$1.2B from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $51.0B by 2025. Libya ranked 94th globally.

Libya’s gross national income (GNI) reached US$51,000,918,451.48 in 2025, placing the nation 94th in the world and closely aligning with peer economies such as Turkmenistan (US$51,274,963,653.00) and Tunisia (US$51,449,056,067.85). The country’s GNI trajectory spans 66 years, beginning from a low of US$378,557,479.78 in 1960, the all‑time trough, and climbing to an all‑time peak of US$90,611,575,226.29 in 2012. The post‑peak decline reflects the combined impact of political instability, fluctuating oil revenues, and limited diversification, while the modest rebound to 2025 suggests gradual stabilization of production and modest reforms in the private sector. Compared with Bahrain’s US$48,542,869,680.85, Libya’s current output remains slightly higher, yet the gap to its 2012 high underscores the vulnerability of an oil‑dependent economy. Continued investment in non‑hydrocarbon sectors and sustained security improvements will be critical to reversing the downward trend and fostering a more resilient GNI trajectory.
