Overview
Maldives's gni per capita stood at $13,236 in 2025, a rise of +$1,596 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $13,236 by 2025. Maldives ranked 83rd globally.
Maldives' GNI per capita has experienced a significant increase over the past five decades, rising from a low of 150.00 in 1978 to a peak of 13,236.00 in 2025. This growth trajectory is comparable to that of Palau, another island nation in the Asia-Pacific region, which has also seen its GNI per capita rise to 13,202.00. In recent years, Maldives has consistently ranked among the top 100 countries globally in terms of GNI per capita, with its latest value standing at 13,236.00, placing it at #83. The country's economic development is largely driven by its thriving tourism industry, which has contributed to the growth of its service sector and, subsequently, its GNI per capita. However, the trajectory may be impacted if the country's economic growth is hindered by environmental concerns, such as rising sea levels and climate change, which could threaten its tourism industry and, in turn, its GNI per capita growth.
