Overview
Solomon Islands's gni per capita stood at $1,840 in 2025, a decline of +$70 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $1,840 by 2025. Solomon Islands ranked 165th globally.
The Solomon Islands' GNI per capita has demonstrated a moderate growth trajectory over the past four decades, with a significant peak in 2019 at 2,210.00, representing a notable rise from the all-time trough of 550.00 in 1986. This upward trend indicates a steady improvement in the country's economic well-being, with a substantial increase in income per capita. However, the latest available data indicates a slight decline to 1,840.00 in 2025, ranking the Solomon Islands 165 globally. Comparatively, the country's GNI per capita is closely aligned with that of Lao PDR, which stood at 1,877.00 in the same year. The Solomon Islands' economic trajectory may be influenced by various factors, including fluctuations in global commodity prices, particularly for its major export, timber. If the country can successfully diversify its economy and develop its tourism sector, it is likely to experience a sustained increase in income per capita, potentially altering its global ranking.
