With as the benchmark, it ranked 104 countries according to these variables then selected the top best in each and ranked them accordingly.

The report indicated that in 2017, global prosperity is at its highest since the report’s debut in 2007.

Here are the two countries from Africa and the Caribbean that made it on the top 50 list.
