The gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Malawi was estimated at about 504.49 U.S. dollars in 2024. Between 1980 and 2024, the GDP per capita rose by approximately 44.10 U.S. dollars, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend. The GDP per capita will steadily rise by around 138.77 U.S. dollars over the period from 2024 to 2030, reflecting a clear upward trend.
This indicator describes the gross domestic product per capita at current prices. Thereby, the gross domestic product was first converted from national currency to U.S. dollars at current exchange rates and then divided by the total population. The gross domestic product is a measure of a country's productivity. It refers to the total value of goods and service produced during a given time period (here a year).
