There are many countries that cannot come out of poverty, mainly because of their politics. In my opinion, there are many countries that are economically very developed but they fail to create a developed state. Basically, this is because of political reasons where the leaders take money from most of the industrial sectors and smuggle it abroad and do not build any industrial factories in the country, as a result of which the country continues to become poor. There are many countries that are very top in exports but even though they are economically developed, they cannot build a developed state, rather the reason is that the money of that country is smuggled abroad. Basically, my country exports much more than this import and is also financially ahead, but due to political diplomacy, most of the money is smuggled out of the country. As a result, the country does not develop, but everyone thinks that they will go and live in a developed country and live there. However, in my opinion, if the country's money can be kept in the country and used to build trade and factories, then a country will develop very easily.
i agree with you, corrupt leaders siphoning off money and stashing it abroad is a huge reason why some places stay stuck, even when they’re economically developed on paper. If the profits from all those exports were actually reinvested into building factories, infrastructure, or even just basic services, it could be a game-changer. Instead, it’s like the country’s bleeding wealth, and folks end up dreaming of bouncing to somewhere else.
