Comparative Analysis:
Compared to these other countries, Sudan's GDP growth looks really good and steady. A lot of these other places went into the negatives in the year 2009, but Sudan managed not to. Sudan has the most positive, steady, and consistent GDP growth out of all of the countries that I compared it to.
GDP Growth Consistency:
Sudan's GDP growth has been consistent over the past few years. Their market has been localized agriculture and also consists largely of oil production. I think that these are the reasons that Sudan has not been jumping all over the charts like these other big, oil dependent, societies. Sudan is a more simple place that relies heavily on local agriculture and oil production, so their economy has remained steady in recent years. The per capita GDP has increased only slightly in the recent years, but I do believe that, what is now, South Sudan's per capita GDP will increase as soon as their country gets used to being independent from Sudan.
