General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP

Overview

Niger’s government revenue has remained low by international standards, registering 11.11 percent of GDP in 2025, which places the country at 178th globally. The indicator has fluctuated modestly over the 31‑year series, rising from an early low of 9.30 percent in 1995 but never approaching the brief surge to 46.24 percent of GDP recorded in 2006, a peak that coincided with a commodity boom and heightened tax collection efforts. The most recent trough occurred in 2024 when revenue slipped to 9.16 percent, underscoring the fragility of fiscal capacity amid volatile external shocks and limited domestic tax bases. Compared with peers, Niger’s revenue share is slightly higher than Sierra Leone’s 10.47 percent but below Madagascar’s 12.24 percent and Guatemala’s 12.40 percent, reflecting similar structural constraints in low‑income economies. Absent substantial reforms to broaden the tax net and improve public‑financial management, the upward trajectory seen in 2025 is likely to remain modest, with future growth contingent on macro‑economic stability and diversified revenue sources.
