Niger GDP per Capita
GDP divided by midyear population NY.GDP.PCAP.CD
Niger's gdp per capita was $789 in 2025, ranked 177th globally. This represents a 7.3% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Niger's gdp per capita stood at $789 in 2025, a rise of +$53 from 2024. The IMF projects $789 by 2025. Niger ranked 177th globally.
Niger’s gross domestic product per capita has risen from a trough of 128.25 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 788.62 in 2025, placing the country 177th in the World Bank’s 2025 ranking. Over the 66‑year series the average annual increase is modest, reflecting persistent structural constraints such as low agricultural productivity, limited industrial diversification and frequent climatic shocks that hamper sustained income growth. Compared with peers of similar rank, the Gambia records a higher per‑capita figure of 889.92, while the Democratic Republic of Congo reaches 772.03, underscoring the divergent paths even among low‑income economies in sub‑Saharan Africa. The upward trajectory in Niger is driven mainly by incremental improvements in primary sector output and modest gains in services, yet the gap with neighboring peers remains sizable. Continued investment in human capital, infrastructure and climate‑resilient agriculture will be pivotal if Niger is to accelerate its per‑capita growth and narrow the disparity with its regional counterparts.
