top countries in africa

The GDP per capita PPP of each country in Africa will be used as a measure to determine the best countries to do business. It is generally acceptable that GDP growth rate is an important indicator of the economic performance of a country and the GDP per capita indicates how wealthy a nation is.

A country with good economic growth may not be wealthy if the population outweighs the economy growth rate and this will affect the GDP per capita of such nation. Therefore, countries with a good GDP per capita will be a good place for investors to do business.

According to investopedia, the gross domestic product (GDP) is one of the primary indicators used to gauge the health of a country’s economy. It represents the total dollar value of all goods and services produced over a specific time period, often referred to as the size of the economy. And GDP per capital is the country’s gross domestic product divided by its total population.
