Marshall Islands GNI per Capita

Marshall Islands’ gross national income per capita rose from a low of 520.00 in 1972 to an all‑time peak of 8,990.00 in 2025, placing the nation 96th in the World Bank ranking and positioning it alongside peers such as North Macedonia (8,835.00) and Georgia (8,773.00). The 54‑year trajectory reflects a gradual diversification of the small island’s economy, driven by modest expansion in tourism, fisheries and offshore financial services, while remittances from the diaspora have provided a steady income stream. Despite the upward swing, the absolute level remains well below the median of high‑income economies, underscoring the vulnerability of the Marshall Islands to external shocks such as climate‑related disruptions and fluctuations in aid flows. Continued investment in renewable energy and climate‑resilient infrastructure could sustain the recent gains, whereas failure to address these challenges may stall or reverse the positive trend in GNI per capita.
