Yemen

Covering approximately 455,503 square kilometres in southern Arabia, the Republic of Yemen serves as a strategic maritime hub bordered by Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The nation's economy, valued at a purchasing power parity of $69.963 billion in 2023, supports a population of over 32.6 million people with a per capita GDP of $2,053. Despite facing challenges that have lowered its nominal GDP to $21.045 billion, Yemen maintains a low human development index of 0.470 and relies heavily on its diverse ethnic composition, which is predominantly Arab and Muslim. With Sanaa designated as the constitutional capital and Aden serving as the temporary administrative seat, the country continues to leverage its significant coastline and natural resources to drive regional stability.
