According to physicscat, Suriname is a country located in South America, bordered by Guyana and the North Atlantic Ocean. It has a population of over 576,000 people with Dutch being its official language and the Surinamese Dollar as its currency. In 2013 Suriname was in the midst of an economic crisis with an estimated GDP of $5.7 billion USD. Its economy relied heavily on agricultural exports, which accounted for 40% of its exports and 10% of its GDP. Despite its strong economy, poverty levels remained high at around 25%. Additionally, inequality levels were high with the richest 10% of households controlling 41% of all wealth in 2013. In 2013 Suriname was still dealing with political tensions between the government and opposition parties which led to frequent protests throughout that year. Additionally, there were ongoing tensions between different ethnic groups which led to frequent clashes throughout that year. Despite these challenges Suriname continued to make progress towards peace and stability through its Constitution which aimed to protect human rights and establish a democratic government. In addition to this, the government undertook various initiatives such as the National Reconciliation Commission which sought to achieve a peaceful resolution to the country’s civil war. Suriname is a small country located in northern South America which was home to an estimated population of around 575,000 people in 2014. It is a predominantly tropical country with a diverse population made up of people from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In 2014, Suriname was in the process of recovering from the effects of the financial crisis which hit the country in 2011. This crisis had been caused by high levels of government spending and mismanagement of public funds. As a result, the economy had experienced high levels of inflation which had led to a decline in living standards for many citizens. In order to help improve the economic situation, the government implemented austerity measures such as cutting public sector salaries and raising taxes. Despite these measures, however, GDP growth remained low at just 0.7%. The economy was further weakened by falling commodity prices and weak global demand for Suriname’s main export products such as bauxite, gold and oil. The political situation in Suriname was relatively stable during this period with President Desi Bouterse remaining in office since coming to power in 2010. However, tensions between various ethnic groups continued due to ongoing disputes over land rights and other issues. Additionally, human rights organizations criticized Suriname for its alleged involvement in extrajudicial killings as well as its use of torture against political prisoners. Overall, 2014 was an important year for Suriname as it continued its efforts to recover from the financial crisis while also facing ongoing political tensions due to ethnic disputes as well as criticism from human rights organizations regarding its alleged involvement in extrajudicial killings and use of torture against political prisoners.
