AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoShipping Risks: The IMO says at least 25 seafarers have been killed and 130 attacks on commercial vessels recorded since the Middle East conflict began, adding to risks for routes vital to Djibouti’s port economy. Port Exposure: Port revenue generates about 60% of Djibouti’s GDP, but Red Sea attacks have cut maritime traffic by more than half. With foreign debt at 70% of GDP, mostly owed to China, a prolonged downturn could deepen financial strain. Trade and Investment: Djibouti ranks among the world’s most trade-dependent economies, with trade equal to 206% of GDP. In Tripoli, its foreign minister discussed trade, investment, energy, ports, logistics and sea links with Egypt’s counterpart, while Djibouti and Libya signed agreements on diplomatic travel, training and regular political consultations.
