Somalia

Country / Territory Brief

Somalia is an Arab LDC and a fragile state. Due to several civil wars, floods and outbreaks, Somalian economy is considered to

be one of the poorest and least developed in the World. As a fact, it is extremely vulnerable. Besides, Somalia has a lack of

natural resources and most of its mineral reservoir is unexploited.

Somalia’s private sector has grown considerably, particularly in the spheres of trade, commerce and infrastructure and number

of Somali areas have established favourable business environments that have facilitated investment in sectors including

livestock, telecommunications, and remittances. But this remains limited to address the extreme poverty facing the country and

its people.

Absence of a central government authority and inadequate government support and administration are the main challenges that

have been detrimental to Somalia’s economy, particularly to its currency. Somalia main exports are: livestock, bananas, skins,

fish, charcoal and scrap metal. Main export partners are: United Arab Emirates, Yemen and Oman.
