Overview
Malta's gni per capita stood at $40,204 in 2025, a rise of +$3,474 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $40,204 by 2025. Malta ranked 37th globally.
Malta’s GNI per capita has risen dramatically over the 54‑year series, climbing from a trough of 1,090.00 in 1972 to an all‑time peak of 40,204.00 in 2025, placing the nation 37th globally. This ascent reflects sustained diversification of the economy, with growth in financial services, tourism, and information‑technology sectors that have lifted average incomes far above the level recorded at the series’ start. The 2025 figure is comparable to peer small‑state economies such as the Bahamas (40,901.00) and Saudi Arabia (39,867.00), underscoring Malta’s successful integration into high‑value global markets. While the upward trajectory has been robust, future fluctuations could arise from external shocks to tourism demand or shifts in EU fiscal policy, which would influence the pace of further GNI per‑capita growth.
