Yesterday I saw a very interesting ranking of the 50 poorest countries in the world in 2025 and I was impressed by the disparity. South Sudan leads with a GDP per capita of only R$251, followed by Yemen (R$417) and Burundi (R$490). Most are concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa.

What draws attention is that among the 50 poorest countries, there are names like Somalia (R$766), Nigeria (R$807), and Liberia (R$908). Some Asian countries also appear on the list, such as Myanmar (R$1,177), Nepal (R$1,458), and Cambodia (R$2,870).

At the bottom of the list of the 50 poorest countries, nations like India (R$2,878), Ivory Coast (R$2,872), and Kyrgyzstan (R$2,747) appear. It’s a very different reality from developed countries, right? It makes us think about global economic inequality.
