Senegal
Sadly, Senegal is not blessed when it comes to natural resources. This is the reason its economy is reliant on agriculture, fish, and tourism. With its $25.32 billion GDP and 16.74 million inhabitants, its GDP per capita stands at $1,510.20. The country depends on tourism, which is an important component of the economy. This has made the government invest in its tourism infrastructure by pouring money into national parks, nature reserves, and historic sites. The country has been enjoying tourists from different parts of the globe thanks to this! It looks like the future is bright for the country.
Tunisia
At the moment, Tunisia is undergoing a lot of reforms. This has been happening for a couple of decades by now. The economy initially saw a huge boost, but it is now experiencing moderate growth. The country has 11.8 million inhabitants and a GDP of $36.2 billion. This explains why the GDP per capita is $3,072. Even though its economic situation has improved, it is still trying to rebuild. About 15.5% of the residents live below the poverty line, while 14.7% are out of jobs. We are glad to hear that the government is trying to fix the unemployment issue. It has introduced policies in the hopes of improving foreign currency reserves and limit subsidies and deficits. The economy primarily revolves around tourism with 7 million visitors per year. Let us keep our fingers crossed for the North African country!
