Representing the African nation of Sierra Leone, the Sierra Leonean Republic struggles with the substantial negative effects of poverty on its financial situation. Financial scandals, corruption, and conflicts, including a horrific civil war that devastated the western African region, have characterized the historical backdrop of the continent of Africa. Together, these hardships led to Sierra Leone's economy collapsing and its currency depreciating.

The Ebola outbreak made Sierra Leone's already dire situation worse, creating a vicious circle of hardship for its people, who mainly depend on foreign assistance. The nation's economic stability is further strained by the ongoing need for aid.

In this regard, the complicated interaction of historical, economic, and health-related variables is reflected in Sierra Leone's ranking as the third weakest currency in the world. Sierra Leone's problems highlight the more general difficulties that certain African countries have in establishing economic stability and currency strength against a backdrop of unfavorable circumstances.
