About this chart

Ethiopia's rank tells two stories. It was 70th in the world in 1980, fell to 100th by 2000, then climbed to 66th in 2025. GDP peaked in 2024 at $150 billion, then dropped to $126 billion in 2025, a fall of about 16 percent in a single year. The deepest earlier slump came in the early 1990s, when GDP slid from $13.8 billion in 1991 to $7.1 billion in 1994.

Against its three nearest economies, Ethiopia in 2025 sits behind Puerto Rico ($129 billion) and the Dominican Republic ($127 billion) but ahead of Guatemala ($123 billion). It passed the Dominican Republic in 2019 and Puerto Rico in 2021 before both moved back ahead in 2025, and it has led Guatemala since 2016. Values are nominal current US dollars, not adjusted for inflation or purchasing power, so currency moves matter.
