Overview
Mozambique's gdp per capita stood at $690 in 2025, a rise of +$33 from 2024. The IMF projects $690 by 2025. Mozambique ranked 181st globally.
Mozambique’s GDP per capita has risen modestly over the 46‑year series, moving from a low of 164.97 in 1988 to a recent 690.01 in 2025, placing the country 181st in the World Bank ranking. The all‑time peak of 697.14 recorded in 2014 was only slightly above the 2025 figure, indicating that growth has largely plateaued since the mid‑2010s after a long‑term upward trajectory from the 1980s. Compared with regional peers, Mozambique trails Sudan’s 712.00 and outperforms Malawi’s 622.47, while still lagging behind Somalia, Fed. Rep. at 763.08. The limited acceleration since the peak suggests that structural constraints, such as low industrial diversification and vulnerability to external shocks, continue to dampen per‑capita gains. Sustained improvements in infrastructure, human capital and export diversification would be required to revive higher growth rates and lift Mozambique beyond its current stagnating path.
