The Economist magazine has published a very unexpected Top 5 best countries in the world

The British edition of The Economist has identified the top five countries by the end of 2024. And this list is not the most common.

This year Bangladesh was the leader thanks to the overthrow of autocracy. Street protests in August forced the prime Minister to resign and fly to India.

In second place in the ranking of the best countries in 2024 was Syria. According to The Economist, the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad "put an end to a half-century dictatorship." For 13 years, "the civil war and state violence claimed the lives of about 600,000 people."

The third place went to Argentina, known for its economic reforms. Thanks to "the most radical free market experiment in the world," inflation and borrowing costs have declined, and the economy has begun to grow.

South Africa is in fourth place. In May, the African National Congress (ANC) lost its parliamentary majority for the first time. The party has been in power since the fall of apartheid in 1994. The ANC is now in coalition, and it will be difficult for the government to solve problems such as unemployment and crime.

Poland, which is in fifth place, closes the list.

"Donald Tusk has begun a long recovery process," the publication says.

The source especially noted the fact that Warsaw is increasingly becoming "a pillar of pan-European security, as the country has a large army, and its defense spending is also growing."
