Niger GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Niger's gni per capita was $700 in 2025, ranked 191st globally. This represents a 2.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Niger's gni per capita stood at $700 in 2025, a rise of +$20 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $700 by 2025. Niger ranked 191st globally.
Niger’s gross national income per capita has risen modestly over the 64‑year series, moving from a low of 140.00 in the 1970 trough to the all‑time peak of 700.00 recorded in 2025, which places the country at rank 191 globally. The early post‑independence period was marked by stagnant growth, with the 1962 figure of 150.00 barely above the trough, reflecting limited diversification and recurrent climatic shocks. Subsequent decades saw incremental gains, but the pace remained constrained by weak institutional capacity, low agricultural productivity and periodic security crises. By contrast, peer Sudan recorded a higher GNI per capita of 740.00 in the same year, underscoring the impact of more diversified export earnings and larger oil revenues. The recent uplift to 700.00 suggests that modest reforms in fiscal policy and modest improvements in infrastructure are beginning to bear fruit, yet sustaining upward momentum will require deeper investment in human capital and resilience to climate variability.
