The Poorest Countries in the World 2018

 Madagascar (GDP per Capita- $404.94)

One of the largest islands in the world, Madagascar is located near the south eastern parts of Africa. It is famous for its flora and fauna; and is home to some of the rare species in the world. After the political crisis which lasted from 2009-2013, the economy of the country was devastated. Some of its major income generators are eco-tourism and agriculture. This income is not evenly distributed among the masses and hence major part of the population lives in poor conditions. Some of the major problems faced by this country are the rise in inflation, drastic fall in exports and mounting debts.
