Gross Domestic Product in current US dollars NY.GDP.MKTP.CD
Namibia's gdp was $14.7B in 2025, ranked 141st globally. This represents a 9.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Namibia's gdp stood at $14.7B in 2025, a rise of +$1.3B from 2024. The IMF projects $14.7B by 2025. Namibia ranked 141st globally.
Namibia’s gross domestic product has risen from a low of 1,608,237,350.44 in 1985 to an all‑time peak of 14,686,000,000.00 in 2025, reflecting a 812 percent increase over the 46‑year span. The early 1980s trough coincided with regional droughts and a contraction in the mining sector, while the 2020s surge has been driven by expanding diamond extraction, tourism, and modest diversification into renewable energy. In 2025 Namibia ranked 141 globally, with a GDP marginally below Rwanda’s 14,771,000,000.00 and slightly above Equatorial Guinea’s 13,467,000,000.00, underscoring its position among lower‑middle‑income economies in Southern Africa. Per‑capita output remains constrained by a relatively small population and persistent infrastructure gaps, suggesting that future growth will depend on sustaining commodity prices, attracting foreign direct investment, and advancing value‑added manufacturing. Continued structural reforms and climate‑resilient policies could keep the upward trajectory intact, while adverse external shocks would risk reversing recent gains.
