Overview
Vanuatu's gni stood at $1.4B in 2025, a rise of +$106.9M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $1.4B by 2025. Vanuatu ranked 187th globally.
Vanuatu’s gross national income (GNI) has risen from a modest 100,061,111.43 in 1979 to an all‑time high of 1,391,134,855.45 in 2025, placing the nation 187th globally and marking a 13‑fold increase over 47 years. The early 1980s witnessed the lowest recorded level, 93,391,292.25 in 1982, reflecting the vulnerability of a small island economy to external shocks such as commodity price volatility and limited diversification. Since that trough, steady growth has been driven by expanding tourism, modest offshore financial services, and remittances, allowing Vanuatu to surpass peers such as Grenada (1,326,638,888.89) while still lagging behind the Solomon Islands (1,542,689,446.43). The upward trajectory suggests continued resilience, yet future GNI growth will hinge on climate‑adaptation investments, diversification of export markets, and the capacity to attract sustainable foreign direct investment.
