Lesothos GDP (PPP) is projected at $7.1 billion in 2025. Lesothos economy relies on agriculture, textiles, and remittances, with water exports to South Africa via the Lesotho Highlands Water Project as a key contributor. The PPP adjustment boosts GDP due to a low cost of living. Poverty, unemployment, and HIV/AIDS prevalence hinder growth, while reliance on South Africa poses risks. Lesotho aims to diversify into tourism and renewable energy, but limited infrastructure and landlocked geography constrain economic development.
