Sri Lanka's per capita GDP surpasses USD 5,000 for first time in 2025
Sri Lanka’s economy recorded strong growth in 2025, with GDP per capita rising to USD 5,003 compared to USD 4,546 in 2024, according to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL). According to a CBSL statement, the increase was supported by nominal GDP expansion alongside a decline in the mid‑year population. Despite the impact of Cyclone Ditwah, the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at constant prices grew by 5.0%, with all four quarters contributing positively. Industry activities, particularly manufacturing and construction, drove the overall expansion, while services such as financial and transport activities also made substantial contributions. Agriculture outperformed its 2024 growth, adding further momentum. GDP at current market prices rose to Rs. 32,750.8 billion in 2025 from Rs. 30,095.8 billion in 2024, with the GDP deflator recorded at 3.7%. Gross National Income (GNI) increased to Rs. 32,142.2 billion, reflecting net primary income from abroad. In USD terms, GDP at current market prices climbed to USD 108.8 billion in 2025 from USD 99.6 billion in 2024. GNI per capita also rose to USD 4,910 compared to USD 4,428 in 2024, underscoring the resilience of the economy and improved living standards. (Newswire) 2026-04-23
