List of African countries by GDP (PPP)

[Mwanzi1]

Livale Mwanzi1 you forget one crucial thing. The political federation. Were the EAC purely an economic block hapo sawa. Political federation entails common understanding on vitu kama good governance, human rights, foreign policy and defence and security policy. You cannot achieve this common understanding if your peoples are not one nation. The Ethiopians fancy themselves an ancient civilisation (somehow true) and they will obviously want to be distinct from the rest. No dilution of blood language and culture. Wale watu have u even ever seen or heard their language? Different alphabet kabisa!
The Congolese on the other hand......hehehe....where do i even start? Ndugu zetu kabisa! I would vouch for them any day any time!

That is true, we have blood connection with Congolese than Ethiopians. But I'm thinking about future generation were the habit we're used to see today or even languages we speak today are long gone and you can't tell the difference between a Somalian to a Malawian. Because that is very possible with help of modern technology. In our lifetime we will see Africa come more and more closer like we wouldn't have image it. Federal system work but federal systems was created in order to protect national interest, were by a federal member will object to anything which is not in the interest her country that is good if other are not in the rush. So EAC can go with federal system but it will take at least a generation or more for all members states feel like they're one nation.

Hello? Have you been following global trends recently? Once upon a time globalization was happening and it was a fact....lakini since Trump aingie i have noticed that it is possible to halt this train and reverse it even. Do not think that nationalism will die any time soon.

Its Kenya vs Tz, stick to the topic, you aren't Ethiopian, besides Ethiopia's human resource is inferior and illiterate,just a huge number of unskilled laborers that China is trying to exploit with extremely low wages and slave like working conditions.
The same unskilled labor that Kenya will beat and leapfrog with AUTOMATION/MACHINES and ROBOTICS.
The dam isn't even producing electricity yet ,yet still we all know that depending on natural phenomenon like rivers in an era of CLIMATE CHANGE is extremely myopic.
What happens when the sources of the Blue nile dries up or water is diverted at the source for irrigation drought or famine etc?....will the dam produce enough energy?
Kenya on the other hand is going NUCLEAR and has already been cleared by the keepers of the Atomic Energy licences.
Nuclear doesn't depend on natural factors and is stable/doesn't fluctuate.
The end will justify the means.

Here is the thing Tim Choice, when you doing something, it doesn't mean others will not be able to do the same. I mean what Kenya is doing is great but its not an idea baked from Mars, its an idea which was baked next door (metaphorical). If is wind power every country can easily build there own and generate electricity. I mean Kenya is doing things today which where done in France and German 200 years ago. So yeah, you might be doing well today, but its not a guarantee that tomorrow you'll still remain at the helm.

Wengine mnabisha vitu tofauti, PPP sio Norminal. Yote hii ni bure ukweli ni kwamba Kenya hamko mbali na Tanzania, tofauti ya $700 sio ya kumtisha mtu mzima.

I've followed so called "global trend" and it stinks, the rise of Conservationism with aid of far right movement adding with Christianity it's nothing but stinks to the core. I'm not sure if that is what your trying to preach here, but all that will lead to collapse of Nations. Next thing after that will be cannibalism from state to state.

Ni sawa tunakila kitu, lakini maamuzi ya viongozi walio pita ndio yametufikisha tulipo sasa. Siwalaumu viongozi walio pita, kutikana mazingura ya nyuma ndio yalio wachukulia wao kuamua walio amua. Lakini wakati wetu ndio sasa, kama tunajitambua, tuache kulalamika na kupiga kazi.

Alie kutangulia kakuzi jambo, Umesema vizuri, Germany walifanya vitu hivi mbele yetu, sasa waone walipo.
Hata tukijenga nini hatuwezi wafikia.

Walitutangulia na ni hivyo watukuwa hadi akhera!

Na sisi tumewatangulia, ndio hivyo hadi akhera

Mimi na imani tifauti kidogo, 1860 Waingereza walipigana vita na China na Waingerza wakashinda na kuchukuwa Hong Kong, 1894 and 1937 Japan waliwapiga na China na Japan wakashinda wakaitawala china kidogo halufu wakaondoka. Je leo hii UK au Japan anaweza vita na China, kijeshi au hata kiuchumi? 1945 Japan iliteketezwa na Marekani kama ilivyo Syria hivi sasa, Je japan wapo wapi leo? kwa sisi waafrika hatushindwi kufika walipokika bara la ulaya kama juhuzi na usimamizi mzuri utakuwepo, cha msingi ni elimu na kuchaguwa njia ya kupita.

Unajua, mara nyingi watu hawaelewi hasa mtu akiangalia vigezo vya uchumi yani GDP!!
Hili jambo sio rahisi kuelewa. Angalia Kama China, Ni nchi ya uchumi mkubwa duniani, ukilinganisha na Sweden, Sweden hata haifikii 1/5 ya China. Lakini China ina takriban watu million 700 wachochole licha ya kuwa na Millioni 800 Tajiri, Slums, very poor rural areas nk unemployment over 30%.

Sweden nayo uchumi mdogo lakini haina mchochole hata mmoja, unemployment is 0%, hakuna slum, hakuna mahali hakuna barabara, Maisha ya mtu wa sweden ni mara 100 ya mtu wa china.

Jibu kwako ni kwa ustawi wa nchi, China bado iko kama miaka 50 ukilinganisha na Uingereza

Ethiopia ni ndugu zetu Kaka. WaOromo wapo southern Ethiopia and Northern Kenya, ukitembea Nairobi utawaona wahabeshi wengi wamekuja kujichumia, hio superiority complex sijaiona kwao bado. Wali walio na upuzi huo ni wasomali waliofika US au Europe, wale wa Kenya na hata wa Somalia waliokuja eastleigh hawana fikra hizo. Ikiwa wanazo angalau hawazionyeshi

I'd like to defer with you on this one brother. At 1960, south Korea and Singapore were just as shitty as Kenya was then. Right now if you ask me, South Korea is just as advanced if not more advanced than the world's first industrial nation, the UK. If you ask me, the Scandinavian countries are among the most developed in the world, but Singapore bests most if not all of them.

Acha uvivu wa kufikiri..... miaka michache iliyopita Zimbabwe na Zambia zilizidi kiuchumi nchi za Botswana na Namibia. Lkn sasa unajua nini kilitokea??

Hata miaka ya nyuma..... Marekani iliizidi ulaya kwa kujengwa...... na Dubai ilikuwa haifahamiki kabisa.
Lkn sasa Dubai imejengwa kuliko ulaya na hata kuliko Marekani. Asia nayo inakuja kwa kasi. Afrika itafuata.

Nataka kukubaliana na wewe, lakini nashindwa kwasababu kama ukiangalia ni kwanini nchi kama Sweden au Scandinavian zinafikia walipo sasa, jibu linakuwa ni uchumi. Kama uchumi hauendi sawa itakuwa vigumu kulinda vitu ambavyo they've been taking for granted, things like welfare system, education, jobs and living standard, child welfare. Rule of law etc etc. Wakati Sweden wanakuwa kiuchumi kwa 0% 2007-8 China walikuwa kwa 11%. Sweden wana elimu nzuri inaotoa Uhuru wa kijana kuwa mvumbuzi (inventor) wakati wachina elimu yao ni ya kutumikishwa kiwandani kama robot. Lakini haimaanishi wachina watashindwa kubadilisha elimu yao na wao wawe wavumbuzi wa vitu duniani. Na ukumbuke katika miaka 20 (1980 - 2000) China imewatowa watu zaidi million 680 kwenye umasikini ulio kithiri. Hiyi ni sawa mara mbili ya watu wote wa Marekani. Players wamekuwa wengi duniani, Sweden should watched it back maana ni rahisi kuporomoka kiuchumi kuliko kujijenga.

from my understanding is that (PPP) is about how much the same amount of money can buy if we conberted the equivalent to dollars.... in short PPP is about factoring cost of living, inflation, tax regime of consumer goods...... yani if a box of weatabix vosts 170sh ($1.7) then lets say a box of wheatabix of same size in Tz costs 2000tsh or equvalent of lets say ($1.4) ....so if you had $1.7 in tanzania, you can but a box of wheatabix plus a bar of soap while in kenya it will just be that box, therefore you have a higher purchasing power with same amount of money in tanzania........ thats my layman understanding of PPP

No wonder china is leading in gdp ppp while US in number 3,
but on gdp norminal the US is number one while china in number 3 with $7 trillion less gdp than usa
