Income per capita in Africa 2022, by country
Seychelles recorded the highest Gross National Income (GNI) per capita in Africa as of 2022, at 14,340 U.S. dollars. The African island was, therefore, the only high-income country on the continent, according to the source's classification. Mauritius, Gabon, Botswana, Libya, South Africa, Equatorial Guinea, and Namibia were defined as upper-middle-income economies, those with a GNI per capita between 4,046 U.S. dollars and 12,535 U.S. dollars. On the opposite, 20 African countries recorded a GNI per capita below 1,135 U.S. dollars, being thus classified as low-income economies. Among them, Burundi presented the lowest income per capita, some 240 U.S. dollars.
