South Sudan's Gross National Income (GNI) per capita experienced significant fluctuations between 2011 and 2015, with the all-time peak of 1,170.00 USD occurring in 2014. This value declined to 1,050.00 USD by 2015, ranking the country 177th globally. The GNI per capita in 2011, which marks the trough of this period, stood at 770.00 USD. Compared to its peer, Benin, which had a GNI per capita of 1,100.00 USD in 2015, South Sudan's 1,050.00 USD marks a notable disparity. The country's economic trajectory has been influenced by its tumultuous past, including a period of civil war that lasted from 1983 to 2005 and a more recent conflict that began in 2013. The trajectory of South Sudan's GNI per capita may shift if the country can establish a stable government and invest in economic development initiatives, potentially leading to an increase in the GNI per capita in the coming years.
