Nepal GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Nepal's gni per capita was $1,566 in 2025, ranked 171st globally. This represents a 6.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Nepal's gni per capita stood at $1,566 in 2025, a rise of +$96 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $1,566 by 2025. Nepal ranked 171st globally.
Since the World Bank’s 2025 release, Nepal’s gross national income per capita stands at 1,566.00, placing the country 171st globally and marking an all‑time peak that matches the latest figure. The indicator rose from a historic low of 50.00 in 1965, reflecting a 3,032 percent increase over the 64‑year series. This long‑term ascent has been driven by modest export growth, expanding remittances, and gradual diversification of the agricultural sector, although per‑capita earnings remain well below regional peers such as Timor‑Leste (1,613.00) and Benin (1,507.00). The upward trajectory suggests that continued investment in infrastructure, human capital, and higher‑value manufacturing could sustain growth, while any slowdown in remittance flows or external shocks to tourism would likely temper progress. Future policy focus on productivity gains will be decisive in shaping whether Nepal can close the gap with its nearest peers.
