Seychelles's Economy
Situated on the northeast of Madagascar, Seychelles has the highest GDP per capita in Africa. The country is very reliant on tourism and climate change brings forward some risks for the long term. Growth has declined due to the negative impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic, but Seychelles is working with the World Bank through its Country Partnership Program to boost sustainable prosperity and greater productivity.
