Timor-Leste GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Timor-Leste's gni per capita was $1,613 in 2025, ranked 170th globally. This represents a 2.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1992–2025.
Overview
Timor-Leste's gni per capita stood at $1,613 in 2025, a decline of +$37 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $1,613 by 2025. Timor-Leste ranked 170th globally.
Timor‑Leste’s gross national income per capita has risen from a post‑conflict low of 450.00 in 1992 to 1,613.00 in 2025, placing the nation at rank 170 globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2011 at 3,740.00, after which growth moderated but remained well above the early‑1990s trough. Over the 34‑year series, the average annual increase is modest compared with peers such as Comoros (1,615.00) and Nepal (1,566.00), reflecting persistent structural constraints in a largely agrarian economy and limited diversification of export earnings. While the post‑peak slowdown suggests vulnerability to external shocks, recent reforms in fiscal management and modest improvements in human capital have helped sustain modest gains. Continued investment in infrastructure and integration into regional value chains could accelerate the pace of GNI per‑capita growth, potentially narrowing the gap with higher‑ranking peers in the coming decade.
