12. Lesotho

Lesotho


Misery index score: 51.1
CPI inflation: 6.1%
Unemployment: 45%
Lesotho has the third-highest GINI coefficient in the world, which means that income inequality is particularly high here. Growth is expected to increase due to major infrastructure projects, but weak manufacturing and agriculture sectors are a drag on the economy. Rampant unemployment is also a big problem.
