Understand the numbers
What Djibouti's economic profile is telling you
Djibouti recorded strong real growth in 2025, supported by services linked to ports, logistics and regional trade. The World Bank annual series also shows a slight decline in consumer prices and a high modeled unemployment rate.
The 2023 WTO merchandise profile reflects Djibouti's role as a regional trade and logistics hub. Ethiopia received more than four fifths of recorded merchandise exports in that profile.
Reading the macro data
GDP measures current-dollar economic size. Real growth, inflation and unemployment measure different economic conditions and should not be treated as interchangeable signals.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise exports and imports cover goods. They are kept separate from services and current-account measures.
