An interactive Power BI dashboard analyzing nominal GDP, population and GDP per capita across all 54 African countries.
## Key Insights
- **45% of Africa's $3.57T total GDP** is concentrated in just 4 countries — South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, and Algeria.
- **GDP size and per-capita prosperity don't move together.** Nigeria ranks 3rd in total nominal GDP but near the bottom on a per-capita basis, reflecting how population size dilutes national output into individual prosperity.
- **Northern Africa holds the largest regional GDP share (31%)** relative to its population, making it the most "GDP-dense" region on the continent.
- **Central Africa holds the smallest regional GDP share (12%)** despite significant natural resource wealth in the region — a gap that likely reflects governance and value-capture issues rather than resource scarcity.
