Overview
South Sudan's gni stood at $10.5B in 2015, a decline of +$1.4B from 2014. South Sudan ranked 63rd globally.
South Sudan's Gross National Income (GNI) fluctuated significantly between 2011 and 2015. The country's all-time peak GNI of 17,413,371,593.22, recorded in 2013, was nearly double its all-time trough of 8,550,148,979.59 in the same year. This drastic change in GNI is largely attributed to the influx of oil revenues, which significantly boosted the country's economic output. By 2015, South Sudan's GNI had risen to 10,522,802,563.68, ranking 63rd globally. A comparison with peer countries reveals that South Sudan's GNI was closest to Niger's 10,161,942,025.71. However, the country's economic growth has been hindered by ongoing civil unrest and conflict, which has led to a decline in oil production and, subsequently, the GNI. To alter this trajectory, South Sudan would need to establish stability and invest in its oil sector to boost production and economic growth.
