The ranking of the richest African countries based on per capita income in 2022 reveals many surprises. Based on economic statistics revealed by the economic magazine Visual Capitalist, Côte d’Ivoire is among the ten African economic powers in terms of income per capita.
The African ranking of rich countries by inhabitants in 2022 is dominated by Mauritius, according to revelations made by the economic investment magazine Visual Capitalist. According to the same statistical data, Côte d’Ivoire has considerably improved its per capita income in recent years, despite the context of the health crisis that has prevailed over the past two years.
In this Africa ranking of rich countries per capita in 2022, Mauritius occupies the first place with a per capita income estimated at 34000 dollars by VISUAL CAPITALIST. In the second position, we find South Africa, also the second African economic power in terms of gross domestic product.
According to the revelations made by the economic magazine, South Africa occupies the second place thanks to an annual income per inhabitant estimated at 10970 dollars, that is to say, three times less than Mauritius. Information that should not go unnoticed is the presence of Côte d’Ivoire in the top ten of the African ranking of rich countries by GDP in 2022.
Under the impetus of President Ouattara in recent years, the country occupies a tenth place in the ranking with a GDP per capita estimated at 1610 dollars. It should be recalled that Ivory Coast is considered, based on the Africa ranking of rich countries per capita 2022 established by VISUAL CAPITALIST, as the second richest country in all of West Africa, far ahead of the Republic federal government of Nigeria.
Preceded by Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria is content with 11th place in this 2022 ranking of African countries by GDP. In West Africa, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria are the three countries to have reached or even exceeded the 1000 dollar mark in terms of annual income per capita, according to Visual Capitalist.
