S. SUDAN RANKED IN THE POOREST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD 2024

Date: 09/February/2024

According to the global finance an independent world entity which provides free Country Economic Reports; GDP and trade statistics; Best Bank listings; global financial news, have ranked South Sudan the poorest country in the world.

The very poorest of the world’s poorest countries, South Sudan has been wracked by violence since its creation in 2011.

The world has enough wealth and resources to ensure that the entire human race enjoys a decent standard of living. Yet people countries like Burundi, South Sudan and the Central African Republic continue to live in desperate poverty. For other likely contenders for the undesirable title of the world’s poorest country—Afghanistan, Syria and Yemen—years of ongoing conflict make it impossible to even attempt an assessment due to the lack of reliable economic figures.

So how do we determine the poorest countries in the world? While GDP per capita is often considered the standard metric, compensating for differences in living costs and rates of inflation by using purchasing power parity (PPP) can better assess an individual’s buying power in any given country.

It is hard to pinpoint a single cause for long-term poverty. Corrupt governments can make a very rich nation into a poor one. And so can a history of exploitative colonization, weak rule of law, war and social unrest, severe climat

Good night my lovely brother and sisters
