Experts estimate negative growth in 2014 (-1.8 percent) and 2015 (-8.5 percent).

19. Gabon – GDP: $20.664 Billion

18. Zambia – GDP: $22,416 Billion

Zambia’s growth in real terms decreased to 6.5 percent in 2013. This was mainly due to a reduction in agricultural output. Copper contributes about 70 percent to the nation’s export earnings.

17. Uganda – GDP: $23.053 Billion

Absolute poverty continued to drop, from 24.5 percent in 2009/10 to 22.2 percent in 2012/13. The nation is on track to achieve its Millennium Development Goal for poverty reduction by 2015. The nation’s GDP grew by 5.2 percent in 2013.

16. Cameroon – GDP: $30 Billion

    Zambia’s GDP is 30bn and not 2bn. Look at 2014 Budget address of budget as a ratio of GDP. And Zambia’s GDP is larger than DR Congo.
