I looked at the list of the poorest countries in the world in 2025, and it's really striking. South Sudan ranks first with only $251 GDP per capita, followed by Yemen at $417. It's crazy to see the gap.



What surprised me is that the majority of the poorest countries are in Africa. the DRC, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria... the list is long. Then come some countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia like Bangladesh, Nepal, Cambodia. India itself is only at $2,878.

When you look at these figures, you realize how huge the global economic disparities are. These poorest countries face massive structural challenges. It really puts things into perspective.
