What is second richest country in Africa?
[Edit]

Answer

The country with the highest GDP is South Africa ($130bn in 1998, $3210 per capita) The second highest is Egypt ($72bn in 1998, $1200 per capita). No others come close (Algeria $44bn, $1500 per capita).

Libyans enjoyed the highest per capita income of $5220 (GDP $29bn). Gabonese are second: they earned $4120 per capita (GDP $4.8bn). Both Libya and Gabon are sparsely populated, oil exporting economies. Again my info is from 1998.

My source is the Dorling Kindersley World Desk Reference.

I haven't cheated:) and used a desk reference, but if Nigeria ever cut out the trouble with rebels, and government corruption, as they are also a member of OPEC, they could be richer than South Africa one of these days. Ghana is also in the mix--it provides a third of the world's cocoa, had gold and industrial diamonds, and they have just struck oil off the coast. So keep an eye on these two countries.
