Liberia’s nominal GDP rose to $5.2bn in 2025.

Higher is better. A higher figure means a larger pool of income that households can spend, firms can sell into and the state can tax, which is why higher is better here. The latest figure, for 2025, is $5.2bn, up from $4.8bn a year earlier, a rise of $0.47bn or 9.8%. Since 2016 the lowest point was $3.2bn in 2020. The 2025 figure is also the highest in that span, so the economy now sits at the top of its own range.

Why it matters. A larger dollar economy gives the Liberian government a bigger base from which to collect revenue and gives businesses more spending to sell into. The climb from $3.2bn in 2020 to $5.2bn in 2025 shows the economy has recovered well beyond its low. Because the measure is in current dollars, part of the 9.8% rise may reflect higher prices, so household purchasing power may have grown by less. Real GDP growth for the same period would show how much.
