Seychelles: Gross domestic income (constant LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Seychelles' gross domestic income (constant LCU) rose 5.8% on 2024 (from 27.33 billion to 28.92 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +5.4% and a typical year strayed about 8.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 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 30.2% in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 20.8% in 1986. 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 636.01 million a year. A straight line explains 67% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 30.6 billion 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 253.21 million, against 2.63 billion 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.

What this measures

Real gross domestic income (real GDI) measures the purchasing power of the total incomes generated by domestic production. It is a concept that exists in real terms only. When the terms of trade change there may be a significant divergence between the movements of GDP in volume terms and real GDI. The difference between the change in GDP in volume terms and real GDI is generally described as the “trading gain” (or loss) or, to turn this round, the trading gain or loss from changes in the terms of trade is the difference between real GDI and GDP in volume terms. 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.
