The annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) statistics are key indicators of Somalia’s economy and its growth in recent years, providing estimates of expenditure levels and growth across the economy. Much effort has been made to secure new sources of data and improve the quality of data from existing sources. The estimates presented in this report were compiled as far as possible in accordance with the System of National Accounts, 2025 (2025 SNA).
The base year for Somalia’s National Accounts is 2022, largely based on consumption benchmarks derived from the 2022 Somalia Integrated Household Budget Survey. The National Accounts estimate in this report summarizes the latest economic developments and presents time series data from 2019 to 2025.
Somalia’s economy continued to grow in 2025, with GDP at purchasers’ prices increasing from US$12.3 billion in 2024 to US$13.2 billion.

GDP per capita rose from US$761 to US$793, while GNI and GNDI reached US$13.5 billion and US$17.3 billion, respectively.
