OUTLIERS

Luxembourg Financial sector accounts for 22% of

Luxembourg’s GDP. Most banks are foreign-owned and have extensive foreign dealings.

Qatar Consistently posted trade surpluses largely

because of high oil priced and natural gas exports, becoming one of the world’s fastest growing and highest per-capita income countries.

Burundi Ten years of conflict, war ended in 2003. War

impeded development.
