Least Developed
Least developed countries have very low incomes at both the per capita and aggregate levels and limited levels of trade. There are likely to be high investment risks resulting from political and economic instability. Least developed countries also often lack legal and regulatory institutions to protect foreign investments, private property and trademarks.
