Just finished reviewing the list of the poorest countries in the world for 2024, and I’m honestly a bit stunned. Most of them are in Africa—South Sudan, Burundi, Central African Republic, DRC—and Haiti in Latin America also makes the top. Seeing countries like Somalia, Yemen, Sierra Leone… it’s always news of hardship from those places.



Other names like Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu are small island nations—their issues are quite different. It seems the 10 poorest countries in the world are mainly affected by conflict, corruption, lack of resources, or difficult geographic locations. Rwanda and Uganda are surprising because they’ve developed rapidly in recent years, so why are they still on the list?

Does anyone know what the current situation is like in these countries? Will the list change next year?
