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.
