Key Insights
  • Yemen Republic’s GDP and Population data are rated E, which equates to unusable for serious decision making.
  • The Yemen Republic Governance Index is also E rated, meaning the Government is untrustworthy, and may have interfered in the production of Government economic and demographic data.
  • Hence GDP size and growth data and all demographic data are suspect and unreliable, as is all data (such as GDP per capita, Debt per capita, etc ) based on economic data produced by the Government.
