Yearly data from 1990 to 2025, from the World Bank.
Ethiopia's GDP, linked series (current LCU) was 15.09 trillion in 2025, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 1,063% from 1.3 trillion in 2015 (27.81% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 15.09 trillion | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 3.37 trillion | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 1.3 trillion | 2015 |
| Highest | 15.09 trillion | 2025 |
| Lowest | 25.83 billion | 1990 |
| Average since 2016 | 5.78 trillion | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 25.83 billion | 1990 |
Over five years it is up 347.28% from 3.37 trillion in 2020 (34.93% a year on average, compounded). Since 1990 it is up 58,334% from 25.83 billion in 1990 (19.96% a year on average, compounded).
In 2025, Ethiopia's GDP, linked series (current LCU) rose 28.1% on 2024 (from 11.78 trillion to 15.09 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +21.5% and a typical year strayed about 13.2% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 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 45.1% in 2012 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.6% in 1998. 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 1.43 trillion a year. A straight line explains 86% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2025, Ethiopia had the 51st highest value of the 186 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
Gross domestic product is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period. It can be measured in three different ways: using either the expenditure approach, the income approach, or the production approach. This series has been linked to produce a consistent time series to counteract breaks in series over time due to changes in base years, source data and methodologies. Thus, it may not be comparable with other national accounts series in the database for historical years. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
