Trinidad and Tobago's gni per capita stood at $21,597 in 2025, a rise of +$1,857 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $21,597 by 2025. Trinidad and Tobago ranked 67th globally.
Trinidad and Tobago’s GNI per capita has risen from a trough of 640.00 in 1962 to an all‑time peak of 21,597.00 in 2025, placing the country 67th globally among 2025 reporters. Over the 64‑year series the indicator increased at an average annual rate of roughly 340 units, reflecting structural shifts from a sugar‑based economy to a petro‑chemical and services‑oriented model. The 2025 figure is comparable with peers such as Hungary (22,037.00) and Oman (20,778.00), underscoring a convergence with middle‑income economies that have diversified export bases. Despite this progress, the growth path has been uneven, with periods of stagnation during global oil price shocks and slower expansion in the 1990s. Continued investment in renewable energy, higher‑value manufacturing and human‑capital development could sustain the upward trajectory, while adverse commodity price swings would likely temper future gains.
