Eritrea's GDP per capita for 2025 is projected to be around $722 USD by Trading Economics, though different organizations may provide different figures; for instance, YCharts forecasts a slightly higher figure of about $799.68, while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) does not provide a specific GDP per capita figure for Eritrea but does project a per capita GDP growth of 0.98% for the year.
Ethiopia's projected GDP per capita for 2025 is approximately $1,070 USD (nominal) according to the International Monetary Fund and Wikipedia. This estimate is in contrast to World Economics's figure of $1,066.36 for 2025 and Trading Economics' figure of $1,003.68. However, estimates vary significantly depending on the source and methodology.
Put into consideration Eritrea being a new country, always at war since 1998 and sanctioned beyond belief.

Ethiopia is the 20th poorest country in the world. Poorer than Haiti and the Congo.

The correct thing to do, is to compare Ethiopian Airlines with Bisha Mine for example:

The specific annual revenue figures for the Bisha mine in Eritrea are not publicly available due to a lack of financial transparency from the Eritrean government, but historical reports indicate significant cash flows, with the Eritrean government earning over $900 million in two years following the mine's 2011 start-up, according to Martin Plaut. Revenue streams for the Eritrean government include royalties, taxes, and fees from Bisha, a significant component of which is derived from the base and precious metal output from the mine.
