Suriname: GNI, linked series (current LCU)

Key figures

Over five years it is up 355.05% from 34.35 billion in 2020 (35.4% a year on average, compounded). Since 1990 it is up 2.85 million% from 5.49 million in 1990 (34.05% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say

In 2025, Suriname's GNI, linked series (current LCU) rose 16.3% on 2024 (from 134.44 billion to 156.29 billion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +30.3% and a typical year strayed about 43.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 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 459.5% in 1994. 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 16.01 billion a year. A straight line explains 89% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

Gross national income is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad. 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.
