Overview
Uruguay's gni per capita stood at $22,780 in 2025, a rise of +$1,130 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $22,780 by 2025. Uruguay ranked 65th globally.
Uruguay's GNI per capita has experienced a significant upward trajectory over the past six and a half decades, rising from 580.00 USD in 1962 to 22,780.00 USD in 2025, positioning the country at the 65th rank globally. The steady increase in the country's GNI per capita is reflective of sustained economic growth and development, with notable comparisons to peer countries such as Antigua and Barbuda, which boasts a slightly higher GNI per capita of 22,819.00 USD. Notably, Uruguay's all-time peak in GNI per capita was achieved in 2025, underscoring the country's continued economic progress. Despite this upward trend, Uruguay's GNI per capita remains vulnerable to fluctuations in global commodity prices and external economic shocks, such as those experienced by its peer country, Guyana, whose economy is heavily reliant on natural resource exports. A significant shift in Uruguay's economic trajectory could be triggered by a substantial increase in foreign investment, potentially driven by the country's favorable business climate and strategic location.
