Is Togo the world’s poorest country?

Togo is not unambiguously “the world’s poorest country” by current income-per-person measures. World Bank data show Togo’s nominal GDP per capita at about $1,384 in 2025—low, but several countries have lower figures. Extreme-poverty rankings generally use different measures, such as household income/consumption against an international poverty line, rather than GDP alone. Without a specified index and year, the superlative is unsupported.
