Three other southern African countries that seem to be doing better than Zimbabwe were ranked lower with Botswana at 146, Malawi at 147 and Tanzania- one of the fastest growing countries in the world- at 153.

Nordic countries topped the list with Finland at number 1 followed by Norway and Denmark.

Sweden was at number 9.

The world’s richest country, the United States was ranked 18 with the United Kingdom a notch down at 19.

The second richest country, China, was way down at 86 behind Mauritius which was at 55 but better off than South Africa at 105.
