Prices in Sool have declined by 9% since Dec 2022, they've also declined or remained stable in the rest of Somalia. The only exceptions are Woqoyie Galbeed, Togdheer & Awdal where prices rose by up to 25% between December 2022 and March 2024. Food prices fell by 22% in Sool, meanwhile in...

Unbelievable! He admitted that SL spent $1-$2 million a day during the 6 month war in Sool. No wonder these people are in shock. They really left nothing in the tank, that was all they had.

Ran some rough numbers to find out how much of Jubaland's agricultural GDP is generated by nomads vs farmers. Many people who have been to the Shabelle regions, Hiraan Middle & Lower Shabelle, assume that settlement and production patterns there are similar to Jubaland. I think this is a...

Foreign aid and remittances from the diaspora accounted for an unbelievable 79% of GDP in 2020. Somalia's internal economy is incredibly unproductive, with the trade deficit at a whopping 91% of GDP in 2020, due to the inability to export livestock as a result of the cancellation of the Hajj and...

It is now about 2 years old, but it is a good overview of the Somali economy's basics. It gives you a sense of how deep a hole the country is really in. http://www.dns.org.so/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Somalia-Facts-and-Figures-2018.pdf

It seems that sector is in full retreat. The peak for Bosaso was 12 years ago in 2006, and the peak for Berbera was 6 years ago in 2012. Land degradation is starting to catch up with Somalia's ability to raise export quality livestock it seems. The largest economic sector is in absolute decline.

I have always said that Somalia is in a Malthusian Trap. https://www.somalispot.com/threads/somalia-is-in-a-malthusian-trap.19517/ All increases in GDP are being swallowed by even faster population growth. GDP grew by an average of 2.9% from 2013-2017, but GDP per capita fell by 5.5 in the same...

though many bad things happened to those who industrialized, the good out weighed the bad as it boosted their economy tremendously and lead them on the path to economic success.

Iv'e been thinking of the best way to rebuild Somalia. And have come to the the conclusion that the country will never get back on its feet if it tries to emulate Western systems as the social culture of Somalia makes that impossible. Instead we should try to tailor a system that Somali's can...

The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models.:yacadiim: Where do we go from here?:cosbyhmm: Jeremy Rifkin (social and economic...

I've been wrestling with the idea of state owned comapanies take charge of the natural resourse of somalia. I think it will calm down the reluctant desire of the public shown towards foreign private companies lurking about. So my suggesting is, the federal goverment of somalia should build...
