What it is. GDP per capita divides the value of all goods and services produced in Equatorial Guinea in a year by the number of residents. It is measured in current US dollars, so price changes and the exchange rate move it along with real output. The result is an average across the whole population, which hides how income is shared between households. Output paid to foreign owners of firms operating in the country is still counted in the total.
Higher is better. A higher figure means more output for each resident to share through wages, business income, public services and investment, so a rise is good news for this measure. The latest figure is $6,615 for 2025, down 5.5% from $7,004 in 2024. Since 2016 the lowest level was $5,764 in 2020 and the highest was $8,102 in 2018. The 2025 figure sits above that 2020 low and well below the 2018 peak.
Why it matters. A fall of 5.5% in one year means less output per person to support household spending and business sales. The state also draws on a smaller economic base for its revenue. At $6,615, the country remains below the $8,102 reached in 2018, and the next annual figure will show whether the decline continues.
