Analysis# Burundi GDP per Capita
Burundi's GDP per capita reached $618.12 USD in 2026, marking its all-time peak since records began in 1980. The country has grown 124.1% over the past 46 years, recovering substantially from its low of $119.82 USD in 2003. Despite this long-term progress, Burundi remains among the world's lowest-income nations, reflecting persistent economic challenges and limited development.
A dramatic acceleration emerged in 2024, when growth momentum shifted sharply upward. From 2017 to 2023, GDP per capita remained relatively stagnant, fluctuating between $245 and $313 USD. Beginning in 2024, the trajectory reversed course, with consecutive years of strong gains—jumping from $343.60 USD in 2024 to $485.54 USD in 2025. Projections for 2026 suggest this upward trend will continue, though sustainability of such rapid growth remains uncertain given Burundi's structural economic constraints.
