Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>One of the world\u2019s leading economics firms, Visual Capitalist has released a report of the poorest countries in the world in cognizance of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The firm noted that the Global GDP per capita has continued to rise with projections placed at $13,920 for this year. However, they noted that over 120 countries have GDPs that are below the global average.<\/p>\n

According to Visual Capitalist, Sierra Leone is the second poorest nation in the world with a GDP per capita of $472 as compared to $716 in 2013.Next to Sierra Leone in third place is Malawi with a GDP per capita placed $483<\/p>\n

Burundi remains the poorest nation in the world with a GDP per capita of just $308; a forecast lower 415 times than the richest country in the world, Luxembourg.Almost all of the top 20 countries are located in Africa except war-thorn Yemen which is placed at 15.<\/p>\n

Witregardds to the veracity of the data, the firm affirmed that the projections were made in tandem with projections from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for this year.<\/p>\n

According to the IMF, \u201cGDP measures the monetary value of final goods and services\u2014that is, those that are bought by the final user\u2014produced in a country in a given period (say a quarter or a year).\u201dAlthough the continued underperformance of African economies is not lucid enough many economists have continued to blame the effect of colonization and most recently globalization as key factors.<\/p>\n
