Côte d'Ivoire: GNI per capita (current LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Côte d'Ivoire's GNI per capita (current LCU) rose 94,933 on 2024 (from 1.58 million to 1.68 million).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +42,950 and a typical year strayed about 67,634 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 348,869 in 2014 and the biggest yearly fall was 29,147 in 2000. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 67,716 a year. A straight line explains 96% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 1.8 million for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 7,326, against 181,960 for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
