The Seychelles' GDP per capita amounted to 22,000 U.S. dollars in 2025, the highest in East Africa. Mauritius ranked second, with a GDP per capita worth around 13,000 U.S. dollars. Burundi, on the other hand, had the lowest average income per person, at about 160 U.S. dollars.

Under current climate policies, Sudan would face a GDP loss of ** percent by 2050 and a shrinkage of over ** percent by 2100 due to climate change. According to the source's estimates, this would be the most significant loss among all assessed countries in Africa. Even in a scenario of limiting temperatures to *** degrees Celsius, the damage to Sudan's economy would stand at a GDP reduction of ** percent by 2050 and ** percent by 2100. Eight out of 10 countries estimated to record the largest GDP reduction because of climate change globally were located in Africa. The estimates did not consider potential adaptation measures to alleviate the economic loss.

In 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.

As of 2024, Sudan was the North African country with the highest contribution share of the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector to the gross domestic product (GDP), with this industry constituting around **** percent of the economy. Overall, the agriculture sector plays a vital role within the North African countries, contributing at least **** percent to each national GDP of the region. The only exception was Libya, where agricultural activities only made up *** percent of the GDP, respectively. In Sudan, the contribution of agriculture to GDP dropped sharply between 2021 and 2023, largely due to climate-related challenges and the ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023. However, in 2024, the share rebounded to over ** percent, likely because the war severely weakened the industrial and service sectors, shrinking overall GDP and making agriculture’s relative share appear larger. Additionally, as urban jobs disappeared, many Sudanese turned to rural areas and subsistence farming, boosting informal agricultural activity. Agriculture and Economics Across Africa, agriculture is a core pillar of the economy, representing ** percent of Sub-Saharan Africa’s GDP in 2023, led by Niger and Comoros. In addition to its economic presence, the sector also plays an important role in contributing to the job market. In fact, the number of people employed in agriculture in the continent reached almost *** million in 2023. While Central and Western Africa boasted large shares of the agricultural workforce, North Africa recorded the lowest share of employment in the industry, due to the region’s heavy reliance on industrial and service sectors. Harvest and Land
The primary crops grown in Africa are roots and tubers, along with cereals. In fact, Egypt and Morocco led the North African region in 2023, with the highest amounts of cereals produced. Within the continent, Sudan and South Africa possess the largest agricultural land areas, with around *** million and **** million hectares, respectively. However, Burundi dedicated the largest share of land to growing crops at ** percent, with Rwanda following close behind at ** percent.

A brief description of the provided GDP data for G20 & BRICS countries from 2008 to 2021 in five lines:

The data represents the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of G20 countries, a group of major economies, over a 15-year period from 2008 to 2022.

It shows the varying economic sizes of G20 nations, with China and the United States consistently having the largest GDP, while smaller economies like Argentina and South Africa have considerably smaller GDPs.

Notably, the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had a significant impact, causing some countries' GDPs to contract temporarily before rebounding in 2021.

Japan, despite its size, experienced relatively stable GDP growth, while emerging economies like India and Indonesia demonstrated notable expansion over the years.

The European Union (EU) is not individually listed but represents a significant portion of the global economy, contributing to the overall global GDP figures.

The West African refined petroleum products market, encompassing automotive fuels, marine fuels, aviation fuels, LPG, and others, is experiencing robust growth, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 5% from 2019 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by increasing urbanization, industrialization, and rising vehicle ownership across Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and other nations in the region. Economic growth and expanding populations are driving energy demand, particularly for transportation fuels. However, the market faces challenges including price volatility influenced by global crude oil prices, infrastructural limitations impacting distribution and storage, and a growing focus on cleaner energy sources and environmental regulations. The dominance of major international players like Puma Energy, Vitol, and Trafigura highlights the significant investment and competition within this dynamic sector. While precise regional breakdowns are unavailable, Nigeria, as the largest economy in West Africa, likely holds the largest market share, followed by Ghana and Senegal. The “Others” segment represents the collective contribution of smaller West African nations, which are expected to contribute increasingly to the overall market growth as their economies develop and energy needs rise. The market's future will hinge on balancing the demand for affordable and reliable energy with sustainability goals and the transition towards alternative fuels. Significant opportunities exist for companies that can navigate the challenges effectively. Investments in refining capacity, improved logistics infrastructure, and diversification of fuel sources are crucial. The growing adoption of LPG as a cleaner cooking fuel presents a promising segment for growth. Furthermore, the market will benefit from the development of robust regulatory frameworks that promote efficient resource management and environmental protection. Companies specializing in efficient distribution networks and those focusing on environmentally friendly fuel options are well-positioned for success in the increasingly competitive and evolving West African refined petroleum products market. Recent developments include: In November 2021, the Dangote group announced that they are likely to commission Dangote refinery in early 2022. The 650,000 b/d refinery is located in Lagos, Nigeria, and is believed to be Africa's largest upcoming integrated refinery, and the world's biggest single train facility. The state-owned company NNPC is expected to acquire 20% stake in the project., In 2020, BUA Group offered a contract to Axens Group of France to provide a suite of technologies and other services for the conglomerate's proposed project to build a 200,000-b/d integrated refining and petrochemical plant in Nigeria's state of Akwa Ibom.. Notable trends are: Automotive fuels Expected to Dominate the Market.

The size of the five original BRICS economies in 2023 - Brazil, Russia, China, India, South Africa - is comparable to the United States and the EU-27 put together. On a PPP (purchasing power parity) basis, China ranks as the world's largest economy. India takes up the economic parity of about **** the EU-27. The rise of these developing economies gave rise to questions on the role the United States plays in international trade and cross-border finance. FX reserve managers around the world expect to shift their holdings towards the Chinese yuan in the long term, as of 2023.
