The Poorest Countries in the World 2018

Afghanistan (GDP per Capita- $558.97)

Sharing its boundaries with more than four countries, Afghanistan is located in the Central Asia and South Asia. The population of the country is around 33 million. Most of its financials are derived from the funding from external sources. Despite agriculture being the main occupation, the country still faces external debts. More than 40% of the population is living below the poverty line. Only a few people are living above it. As the country has been ravaged by war for more than 40 years, the economy of the country is badly hampered due to wars. Moreover, the internal civil wars and terrorist hideouts have further worsened the situation.
