Djibouti Economy Top of Page
Economy - overview: The economy is based on service activities connected with the country`s strategic location and status as a free trade zone in northeast Africa. Two-thirds of the inhabitants live in the capital city, the remainder being mostly nomadic herders. Scanty rainfall limits crop production to fruits and vegetables, and most food must be imported. Djibouti provides services as both a transit port for the region and an international transshipment and refueling center. It has few natural resources and little industry. The nation is, therefore, heavily dependent on foreign assistance to help support its balance of payments and to finance development projects. An unemployment rate of 40% to 50% continues to be a major problem. Inflation is not a concern, however, because of the fixed tie of the franc to the US dollar. Per capita consumption dropped an estimated 35% over the last seven years because of recession, civil war, and a high population growth rate (including immigrants and refugees). Faced with a multitude of economic difficulties, the government has fallen in arrears on long-term external debt and has been struggling to meet the stipulations of foreign aid donors. The year 2001 will see only small growth as port activity should decrease now that Ethiopia has more trade route options.

Ich habe gar nicht gewußt, daß wir einen so großen

Zerstörer haben, der´s bis Djibouti schafft. Die sind

gewiß mit 5 Zerstörern gestartet und haben alle paar

hundert SeeMeilen einen ausgeschlachtet um den Rest am

Laufen zu halten. Nur wie kommen die Jungs wieder Heim?

Ja Dein Freund Joschka macht gerade einen Badeurlaub in den Piratengewässern! Haben sie Dich zu Hause gelassen, Du Armer?
Ach ja, Du musst wieder im feuchten Wuppertal Plakate kleben, solange Joschka und Scharping planschen!

So hast Du es gewollt!

Würde jetzt auch lieber in die Sonne schippern, anstatt hier Eis zu kratzen.
