I recently came across statistics about the poorest countries in the world based on GDP per capita for 2025. The picture is quite grim, to be honest. South Sudan leads in poverty with only $251 per person. Yemen, Burundi, the Central African Republic, and Malawi are all below $600. Interestingly, most of the world's poorest countries are concentrated in Africa, although there are exceptions like Myanmar, Nepal, and East Timor. Looking at the entire list, it's clear that even among the 50 poorest countries, India only makes it to the end — $2,878. The average for these 50 nations is around $1,200–$1,500 per person. For comparison, in developed countries, it's 10–20 times higher. Further down the list are Congo, Zimbabwe, Laos, Guinea, and Ghana. It's evident that the poorest countries often face political instability, conflicts, or lack of developed infrastructure. An interesting dataset for analyzing economic disparities. By the way, I noticed that even among the poorest states, there is variability — from critically low levels to relatively more stable $2,500–$2,800.
