Cette classification est mise à jour chaque année, le 1er juillet, date qui marque le début du nouvel exercice budgétaire. Elle est basée sur le revenu national brut (RNB) par habitant de l’année précédente, exprimé en dollars des États-Unis[2] et calculé selon la méthode de l’Atlas (a).

Ce surendettement pourrait compromettre la capacité de toutes les économies à se protéger contre le dernier choc en date : l'augmentation des droits de douane.

When companies face financial trouble, potential job losses can be a major risk for people and—depending on the size of the company or industry in trouble—a risk to local or national economies. An efficient insolvency system can mitigate this risk while contributing to the creation of more and better jobs. As jobs are the most critical tool in fighting poverty, a better understanding of the effects of insolvency law on employment is vital for development work.

Food insecurity in West Africa is at a critical juncture, with over 34.4 million people facing a severe food crisis. Agriculture and livestock, which contribute 40% of the region’s GDP, are under threat from three major shocks. First, rising conflict and insecurity have displaced over 12 million people, putting strain on emergency food systems. In addition, economic disruptions such as high inflation (up to 50%), trade barriers, and rising agricultural input costs are crippling livelihoods. Lastly, extreme weather events are having a devastating effect, with erratic rainfall and droughts impacting the 80% of the population living in arid or semi-arid areas.
