GDP per person (current US$)

What is this?

Total output divided by population, in US dollars.

How to read it

  • A rough guide to average income. It moves with the exchange rate and hides large differences between people.
  • Unit: US$.

What does the data say?

GDP per person (current US$) (Mozambique) is 627 US$ (2025), 117.1% higher than in 1991. Over the last year: −4.6%.

Over all 35 observations since 1991, the highest was 697 (2014) and the lowest 192 (1995).

Why does it matter?

  • Households: An average, not what a typical person earns; much work is informal.
  • Businesses: Indicates purchasing power.
  • Government: Used to classify the country for aid and loans.
  • Investors: Used to compare market potential.
  • Mobile money: Higher average income may support larger transaction values. Potential, not proven: check against internal transaction data before acting on it.

What should I watch?
