If only we ended up on that list Inshallah one day we do.

4 Female heads of state on that list.

Most of these economies do cook their numbers i believe this is not the true picture Specially American and its EU Sisters.

Inshallah at least one somali country will be in there one day.

[Estarix]

When would that Somalia falling in that list occur? Even if Somalia did economically prosper and hypothetically had an extremely high per capita gdp its population would still be much too low to reach anywhere near those levels of economy. With a population of 11 million (including Somaliland) and a total of 17 million in the world one Somali nation would never reach that high let alone one divided into 2/3.

Look at this seccecionist kulaha "atleast one somali country".

Unless you want the triangle 3 cities to be a nation (witch i gladly support) Then there is only one Somali nation and that is the republic of Somalia.

Don't address me boy, I'm not your father. And don't think your third grade geometry will impress me neither.

Orodoo aabaha dayday.

It is not a question of size. Switzerland, Singapore, Luxembourg etc are not large economies but they have still managed to have economic growth and human development

HDI and GDP per capita are more accurate descriptors of how a country is doing, especially one similar to Somalia's size.

True, I was once in Bhutan and was fascinated by what I was told. Instead GDP they use GHP (Gross happiness). It is a funny country, Bhutan. The king wanted to have democracy and the people were asked to vote; it was difficult to convince the people of the advantages of democracy.

[PrinceDaadi]

People need to realise that Economy comes down to market, if u dont have largae population then u cant build consumer based economy, but you can build knowledge/export based economy like Singapore or if you are lucky you will get Natural resources and live like Canada and Australia.

What's the source of this list? It doesn't make any sense. China's economy is less than half that of the US? How does that make any sene in light of the recent projections about how China may take over the US in the next 10/15 years.

People are so weird I said inshallah. No need to say "it'll never happen because of this and this".

They're assuming that China will continue to have astronomical rates for growth
