What the numbers say
In 2025, South Asia (IDA & IBRD)'s GNI per capita (constant 2015 US$) rose US$150.69 on 2024 (from US$2,297 to US$2,448).

This year's change was 1.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$153.41 in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was US$134.99 in 2020. 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 US$77.87 a year. A straight line explains 88% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about US$2,571 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 US$120.73, against US$260.51 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.

The reference year for this adjustment is 2015. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
