Overview
Madagascar's gni per capita stood at $536 in 2025, a rise of +$26 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $536 by 2025. Madagascar ranked 197th globally.
Madagascar’s gross national income per capita has risen modestly over the 64‑year series, moving from a trough of 130.00 in 1963 to an all‑time peak of 536.00 in 2025, placing the country at rank 197 globally. The increase represents a cumulative gain of 406.00, yet the level remains well below regional peers such as the Central African Republic at 530.00 and Mozambique at 569.00, highlighting persistent low income relative to neighboring economies. The upward trajectory reflects gradual improvements in agricultural productivity and modest expansion of services, but growth has been uneven, with periods of stagnation during the 1990s and early 2000s when external shocks and political instability constrained earnings. Despite the recent high, Madagascar’s per‑capita GNI remains among the world’s lowest, suggesting that sustained investment in human capital, infrastructure and diversification will be crucial to accelerate future gains and narrow the gap with its peers.
