Eswatini’s GDP per capita rose to $4,108 in 2025.

Higher is better. A higher figure means more output for each resident to share, which is why higher is better for this measure. The latest figure, for 2025, is $4,108, up from $3,910 a year earlier, a rise of 5.1%. That is the highest level since 2016, when the series stood at its low of $3,238. The current reading therefore sits at the very top of its range over that span.

Why it matters. An average of $4,108 per person puts Eswatini in the middle-income bracket in output terms, though the average hides differences between households. Growth of $199 per person in a year gives the state and firms a slightly larger base for tax revenue and spending. How much of that reaches households depends on jobs and wages, which this measure does not track.
