Tanzania GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Tanzania's gni per capita was $1,283 in 2025, ranked 176th globally. This represents a 6.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Tanzania's gni per capita stood at $1,283 in 2025, a rise of +$73 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $1,283 by 2025. Tanzania ranked 176th globally.
Tanzania’s GNI per capita rose from a low of 300.00 in 1962 to an all‑time peak of 1,283.00 in 2025, placing the country 176th in the world after 64 years of coverage. The trough of 220.00 recorded in 1970 reflects the severe fiscal constraints of that era, after which a gradual but uneven expansion occurred, driven by agricultural growth and modest industrialisation. The 2025 figure of 1,283.00 is close to the level of Zambia (1,293.00) and only slightly below Lesotho’s 1,236.00, suggesting Tanzania is converging with its regional peers despite persistent challenges in productivity and infrastructure. While the upward trajectory has accelerated in the past decade, sustaining higher growth will require deeper structural reforms, diversification of exports, and improved human‑capital outcomes; otherwise the current momentum may falter.
