According to the World Bank's 2021 classification, Suriname is classified as a lower-middle-income country, with a Gross National Income (GNI) per capita of $6,310. The country's economy is heavily dependent on the export of natural resources, such as oil, gold, and bauxite, which account for over half of its exports. Suriname also has a large agricultural sector, with major crops including rice, bananas, and citrus fruits. However, despite these natural resources, Suriname's economy has been plagued by high levels of debt, inflation, and unemployment, and the country has been struggling to diversify its economy and attract foreign investment.
