Guyana

Guyana's economy is 38.0 times its 2000 size, having grown from US$713 million to US$27.1 billion in 2025 and climbed from 170th to 122nd. Real growth reached +19.3% last year, far outpacing the +9.9% rise in US$ GDP; the gap was mostly exchange-rate and price effects. The country slipped 1 place, sitting between Burkina Faso and Trinidad and Tobago.

Industry makes up 75.1% of output, while services account for 14.8% and agriculture 7.7%; manufacturing contributes just 1.9% of GDP. Inflation was 3.3% and unemployment 12.0%. Government gross debt is 28.9% of GDP, according to the IMF.

With a population of 835,986, GDP per capita is US$32,414, 44th of 196. Local prices are low, so in PPP terms Guyana reaches $97,899 international dollars and ranks 9th, 35 places higher. The IMF projects GDP of US$48.7 billion by 2030, up 80%, which would place Guyana 107th.
