Overview

Senegal's GDP per capita has exhibited a steady growth trajectory over the past 66 years, with the country experiencing significant economic development. The all-time low of 287.25 in 1969 reflects the economic challenges faced by Senegal during the post-colonial era. However, the country began to rapidly advance in the latter half of the 20th century, with the GDP per capita reaching a peak of 1,921.39 in 2025. This growth outpaces that of its peer countries, with Cameroon and Lao PDR ranking higher and lower respectively. In comparison, Comoros' GDP per capita, at 1,773.10, is relatively closer to Senegal's. The latest figure of 1,921.39 represents a notable improvement from the 1960 baseline of 300.43. A potential slowdown in global economic growth, or a significant decline in Senegal's primary export sectors, could alter the trajectory of the country's GDP per capita growth and impact its continued economic advancement.
