Seychelles recorded the highest Gross National Income (GNI) per capita in Africa as of 2022, at 14,340 U.S. dollars. The African island was, therefore, the only high-income country on the continent, according to the source's classification. Mauritius, Gabon, Botswana, Libya, South Africa, Equatorial Guinea, and Namibia were defined as upper-middle-income economies, those with a GNI per capita between 4,046 U.S. dollars and 12,535 U.S. dollars. On the opposite, 20 African countries recorded a GNI per capita below 1,135 U.S. dollars, being thus classified as low-income economies. Among them, Burundi presented the lowest income per capita, some 240 U.S. dollars.
