CPI inflation: 11.4%
Unemployment: 35%
Heavily dependent on declining oil resources, 25 percent of Yemen's GDP comes from petroleum. The country's GDP fell by more than 10 percent in 2011, but this decline slowed to 1.9 percent in 2012. The government is trying to diversify the economy, but has to deal with declining water resources, high unemployment, and a high population growth rate.
