The Central African Republic, what's going on?

Hi everybody!

After some days of fun, it was time to develop something more about the economy, the education and the health of the Central African Republic.
First of all, in the Central African Republic, they dispense the CFA franc, which is accepted in six states in central Africa namely Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. One euro has here the same value as 676,13 CFA franc.
In the Central African Republic, the annual real GDP growth rate is 3%. Their import partners are South Korea, which is good for 45.8%, after South Korea comes the Netherlands, France and Cameroon. Remarkable are their export partners because their largest export partner is Belgium, with 30.4%, followed by China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, France, Indonesia and Marocco.
The income per capita per year is around the $300 which is very low when you compare it with the income in Europe. We learned that their income is one of the lowest in the world.
It became obvious that because of this income, the education is not that good and the health is very bad.
In 2012, the life expectancy was 50 years old. This is very low because in Europe the life expectancy is around 80 years old. Another notable figure is the HIV/AIDS prevalence rate is about 4.7% of the adult population. But, this is not the only illness, there are a lot of diseases in the Central African Republic such as malaria, tuberculosis, ...; way too many to mention them all.
Now, when we know all the problems here, it is clear that sometimes, we make us too busy for nothing. So it is obvious that we have to be lucky that we did not born here.

Greetings from the Central African Republic!
