The Poorest Countries in the World 2018

Central African Republic (GDP per Capita- $399.79)

It is located in the central region of Africa and is surrounded by Cameroon, Sudan, Chad, and Congo. The country was fragmented due to year long war. Political instability is another problem adding to its economic misery. Due to the poor infrastructure facility, the movement of goods is also not possible. It is a major exporter of diamonds but the income generated remains limited to political parties and few elite groups. Apart from agriculture, the denizens of the country are depended on industries. Even the industrial workers suffer a lot due to inhospitable conditions, poor wages and long working hours.
