What the numbers say
In 2025, Liberia's GDP (constant LCU) rose 5% on 2024 (from 3.99 billion to 4.19 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +8.5% and a typical year strayed about 21.2% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below 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 106.3% in 1997 and the biggest yearly fall was 51% in 1990. 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 79.91 million a year. A straight line explains 73% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
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 indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
