According to the latest statistics, Belarus, as well as Moldova, is recognized as the poorest country in Europe. Most residents of these regions receive no more than two thousand euros per year. While in Liechtenstein or Switzerland, a person can earn up to 60 thousand euros per year. Serbia faced serious financial difficulties, which still cannot overcome the post-crisis period. In this regard, the average salary is about three thousand euros. The poorest country within the European Union is Bulgaria, here a person receives no more than 2800 euros per year.
I would also like to mention the Republic of Haiti with a population of about 10 million people. Since in the past it was a colony of the French, the state is still French. In combination, this is the poorest country in the Americas. The population of Haiti is constantly suffering from natural disasters and massive epidemics. For example, from large hurricanes in 2004 alone more than two thousand people died, and in 2010 there was an earthquake that claimed 200 thousand lives. In addition, various civil wars or bloody rallies often take place.
If we talk about what is the poorest country on a global scale, then, undoubtedly, the so-called third world countries occupy a leading position . It's no secret that living conditions in Africa are far from comfortable.
So, according to 2013, the poorest country in the world is Congo. This is due to a large-scale bloody war, which killed several million people. Of the eight countries that participated in this battle, it was she who suffered the most. According to some estimates, about six million people died in this region. Such disputes led to the destruction of all economic relations and the complete collapse of the shaky economic system. Unfortunately, today there is no need to talk about improving the financial sphere, because epidemics and other misfortunes continue to attack the country.
Despite the fact that Liberia is in second place in terms of poverty, we can hope for a change in this situation for the better. This is a striking difference between this country and the Congo, because the Government of Liberia is actively trying to introduce the US state system. However, the terrible war, in which more than 15 thousand small children were killed, severely undermined the state’s economy, so it’s too early to talk about full recovery.
Some experts believe that the poorest country in the world is Zimbabwe. And this is rather strange, because on the territory of this state are located the most beautiful waterfalls of the continent and some of the most picturesque places on the planet. This could become the basis for the successful development of the tourism business, and hence, the improvement of the economy. However, the main cause of poverty and neglect in Zimbabwe is the proliferation of deadly diseases, especially sexually transmitted infections. Life expectancy is 35 years - a terrible indicator for the modern world.
