Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS

Overview
Niger's gross savings stood at 19.04% in 2025, a rise of +4.95% from 2024. The IMF projects 19.04% by 2025. Niger ranked 104th globally.
Niger’s gross savings ratio has risen markedly since the 1970s, moving from a low of 5.40 in the earliest year recorded to an all‑time trough of 2.39 during the 1984 crisis, before climbing to a peak of 25.01 in 2019. The 2025 figure of 19.04 places the country at rank 104 globally, closely mirroring the savings shares of peer economies such as the Philippines (19.08) and Mongolia (19.10). The upward trajectory reflects a combination of modest improvements in fiscal balances, modest growth in domestic investment, and occasional external assistance that has bolstered public‑sector savings. Nevertheless, the ratio remains well below the levels seen in many middle‑income nations, indicating limited capacity to fund long‑term development from internal resources. Continued diversification of the economy, enhanced tax collection and sustained macro‑stability would be needed to keep the savings rate on an upward path and narrow the gap with higher‑saving peers.
