Analysis
The most recent figure for gni in Rwanda is 21.40 trillion constant LCU, measured in 2025. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 9.9% on the previous year and up 77.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, gni in Rwanda peaked at 21.40 trillion constant LCU in 2025 and was at its lowest, 1.19 trillion constant LCU, in 1994.
That places Rwanda 30th out of 170 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
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 indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
