I came across recent data on the poorest countries in the world by GDP per capita. The picture is quite sad. South Sudan tops the list with $251, Yemen follows with $417. These are really low figures. If you look at the top 10 poorest countries in the world, they are mostly African states and a few Asian ones. DRC, Niger, Somalia - all below $800. Interestingly, even Nigeria with its oil resources barely reaches $807. India is at the bottom of the list with $2,878, but this still indicates economic challenges in the regions. Many factors influence this: conflicts, political instability, lack of infrastructure. The poorest countries in the world often fall into a vicious cycle of poverty. Data for 2025 provides a clear picture of global inequality.
