In plain words
$919.1
What it is. GDP per capita takes the value of all goods and services produced in The Gambia in a year, in current US dollars, and divides it by the number of residents. Because it is an average, it leaves out how income is shared between households, unpaid household work and much informal activity. Current prices and exchange rates feed straight into the dollar figure, so a change in the dalasi or in local prices can move it.
Higher is better. Higher is better because more output per person leaves more room for household incomes, business spending and public services. The latest figure, for 2025, is $919.1, up from $871.3 a year earlier, a rise of 5.5%. That is the highest level since 2016, and it compares with a low of $642.5 in 2017.
Why it matters. An average of $919.1 per person is the pool from which Gambian households earn, firms sell and the state collects taxes. A gain of $47.7 in a year gives each of them somewhat more room, though how far it reaches depends on how income is shared and on the dalasi, since the figure is counted in dollars. Next year's reading will show whether the rise holds.
