US EditionWorld Bank Warns that 39 Fragile States Are Falling Further Behind as Conflicts Grow, Get Deadlier
- The World Bank published an analysis revealing that since 2020, 39 nations experiencing conflict and instability have endured worsening violence alongside an average annual decline in economic output per person.
- This decline follows intensified violence and instability, causing per capita GDP in these nations to shrink 1.8% annually while other developing economies grew 2.9%.
- The report highlights that 21 of these 39 countries, including Ukraine, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Gaza, are engaged in active armed conflict with increasing lethality and food insecurity affecting 18% of their populations.
- Fragile and conflict-affected economies now bear the greatest burden of extreme poverty and food insecurity worldwide, with over 420 million people living on less than $3 a day and nearly 200 million facing severe hunger.
- The World Bank urges targeted reforms, improved security, and long-term global support to address conflict root causes, expand education and healthcare, and stabilize these economies’ development paths.
