I looked at the per capita GDP figures for 2025, and it's quite striking to see the huge gap between countries. The poorest in Africa are really in a critical situation - South Sudan at just $251, Yemen at $417, Burundi at $490. The difference is crazy.
Looking at the full list of the 50 poorest countries in Africa and beyond, we find many names we unfortunately know well: the DRC, Niger, Somalia, Nigeria around $800. Even countries like Rwanda or Ethiopia, which are making efforts, remain below $1,100.
What surprised me is seeing India and Bangladesh so low in the global ranking, at $2,878 and $2,689 respectively. It shows that economic challenges are truly global, not just concentrated in Africa. Development gaps remain massive between regions.
