Acre economic and social metric trends

Overview

The Brazilian state of Acre has shown varying performance across different economic and social metrics in 2026.

Initial reports highlighted an economic paradox where the state held the highest per capita public revenue in Brazil at R$ 12,766, yet ranked 25th out of 26 states in efficiency. This lack of efficiency was particularly noted in infrastructure, where the state held the lowest score in the country.

Subsequent data from the 2026 State Competitiveness Ranking by the Centro de Liderança Pública (CLP) indicated strengths in human capital and labor productivity. Acre ranked 12th nationally in education, with 23.2% of its economically active population aged 14 or older holding a higher education degree. Additionally, the state ranked 16th in labor productivity, generating R$ 2,347 per hour worked, placing it in the upper half of the national rankings.

By late 2026, Acre’s economic profile showed significant expansion. According to the CLP’s 2026 State Competitiveness Ranking, the state secured the top position in Brazil’s economic growth ranking with a real GDP expansion rate of 7.1%. This growth rate, based on a four-period moving average of annual real GDP growth, notably exceeds other North region states such as Amazonas (3.2%), Rondônia (2.9%), and Pará (2%).

Further analysis of the CLP ranking shows that Acre also ranks ninth nationally for having the lowest income inequality, as measured by the Gini Index. State officials have attributed these positive outcomes to policies centered on social inclusion, job creation, and economic development.
