Tunisia: GNI per capita (current LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Tunisia's GNI per capita (current LCU) rose 860.4 on 2024 (from 12,757 to 13,617).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +370.09 and a typical year strayed about 282.04 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.7 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 980.48 in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 433.3 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 584.49 a year. A straight line explains 97% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 14,792 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 738.33, against 1,571 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.
