Overview
Suriname's gni per capita stood at $5,832 in 2025, a rise of +$142 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $5,832 by 2025. Suriname ranked 120th globally.
Suriname's GNI per capita has exhibited significant fluctuations over its 64-year coverage. The country's all-time peak of $8,900.00 in 2014 was a notable milestone, more than a 2,800% increase from its trough of $250.00 in 1963. However, the latest available figure of $5,832.00 in 2025 indicates a decline from its peak, placing Suriname at #120 globally. In comparison, Tonga, a fellow lower-middle-income economy, has maintained a higher GNI per capita of $6,162.00. Suriname's economic trajectory has been shaped by its natural resource endowments, including gold, bauxite, and oil. A sustained increase in economic diversification and investment in human capital could potentially alter the country's trajectory and drive growth towards its peak levels.
