While half of the poor will be in middle-income countries, poverty in low-income countries will be eight times deeper.

Low-income countries have 10 times less tax potential and receive three times less foreign direct investment and remittances.

Most low- and middle-income countries could afford the investment needed in human development to end extreme poverty.

Most countries that cannot afford to end extreme poverty are in Africa.

$308 billion is needed to end extreme poverty for the 46 countries that cannot afford it.
