| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 6.76 million | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 1.41 million | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 1.16 million | 2015 |
| Highest | 6.76 million | 2025 |
| Lowest | 495.12 | 1963 |
| Average since 2016 | 2.95 million | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 512.7 | 1960 |
Over five years it is up 378.38% from 1.41 million in 2020 (36.76% a year on average, compounded). Since 1960 it is up 1.32 million% from 512.7 in 1960 (15.71% a year on average, compounded).
In 2025, Guyana's GDP per capita (current LCU) rose 570,986 on 2024 (from 6.19 million to 6.76 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +202,917 and a typical year strayed about 462,247 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 1.92 million in 2024 and the biggest yearly fall was 19,544 in 2018. 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 649,676 a year. A straight line explains 83% 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, Guyana had the 21st 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. The core indicator has been divided by the general population to achieve a per capita estimate.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.
