1. Mozambique

Part of GDP: %34.797
Value in $billions: 3,887

Finally, at the top of our list, we find Mozambique, a Southeast African country. With a population of over 24.6 million and a massive territory os 801,590 square kilometers (309,500 square miles), Mozambique is a country that’s been going through a lot of economic reforms in the past few years, so we’ve seen quite a few ups and downs in the area. The IMF estimates it has a GDP of over $11.170 billion this year.

Being on this list isn’t exactly the best, but it’s not the worst thing on the planet, either. Thankfully, economies change constantly, and the situation can change year after year, so it’s quite likely we’ll see other occupants of many of these positions next year. Of course, when a country’s economy doesn’t bounce back for a longer period, it’s clear changes need to be made on how the nation is governed to make room for smarter policies to be implemented.

That being said, these have been the countries with the highest current account deficit in 2017.
