Wow I didn't realize puntland blew somaliland out of the water like that. It's kind of funny listening to the recent conversation released by the Hudson institute guys talk about somaliland as the sucess story of the horn
Puntland is surpassing the rest of Somalia.

Yea that's his name I left that discord though not really tight with him but he was chill.
I hate to be the contrarian here but I found some interesting posts a few years ago that says the opposite. @Idilinaa might want to check it out too.
I don't think its accurate to say any one region blows everyone else out of the water, rather its every region doing well with some like Puntland doing slightly better than the rest.

I think she’s the one who pointed out PL has the highest gdp per capita in all Somaliweyn. On par with Kenya/Ethiopia I think
She pointed out that Puntland has a lower poverty rate than Kenya and Ethiopia despite both countries having bigger GDPs. Quite the astounding feat given Puntland doesn't get any foreign aid and its land is more arid than either countries.I think she’s the one who pointed out PL has the highest gdp per capita in all Somaliweyn.

Another thing you can clearly see the difference in Puntland for example which has been the most stable region in Somalia, although Puntland is the most arid region in Somalia compared with the NorthWest/Somaliland and Mogadishu it has the lowest poverty rate . Puntland has lower poverty rate than neighboring Ethiopia and Kenya as well, despite those countries generating more wealth annually with higher growing GDP. 70% of the population has access to clean water, electricity, basic services and education.
This is from a 2017 paper, it was at 27% rate then, twice as less than Mogadishu and Somaliland.
Since then the poverty rate has gone lower across the country and you can see it in the expansion of a middle class, so it probably less than that now in 2024.
The most significant finding is that the marginal gap between the rural and urban population.
This is the biggest evidence against what @Bison trying to insinuate about Somalis, there is not a big gap, only with the displaced.
As for GDP per capita, others have pointed out before that Somalia has yet to get a rebase so Puntland's current GDP per capita figure may not be true and is likely much higher. Wouldn't be surprised if it was on par with Ethiopia to be honest.
I'm not gonna lie the kismayo stats shocked me. There doing much better than I would've thought considering their in the heart of alshabab territory.I think she’s the one who pointed out PL has the highest gdp per capita in all Somaliweyn. On par with Kenya/Ethiopia I think

He most certainly did not. Im not even sure where that stuff came from. I can’t @ him anymore I would have. Anyway, bowe tell us about what was posted here instead of trying to deflect.Why did you @ me ?

There’s more poor people in cities than villages
wow what a shock. Any basic researcher into geography could have told you this.
That was just a snippetl, these reports are between 150-200 pages, Please read them and come to your own conclusion. PL has achieved this without the autonomy that SL enjoys while the FGS placed an international aid blockade on PL.
We can go metric for metric in those reports and after Banadir, PL will win the most in a tally. That's besides the fact that PL has a better administration than all other federal member states plus that fact it's always generated more revenue.

Very impressive and it’s self generated not foreign aid
I'd have to see the budget for banadiir and somaliland to make an accurate estimate. But this seems like an insanely highly difference. Does puntland really have a budget higher than all the other federal member states combined ? Where is this money coming from ? I know it can't be tax since while puntland is somehwat above the others the difference isn't large enough to explain this.

Why you claim multiple years but only show a report from 2017?
Trying to cheat at the poverty olypmics is new low for Puntland.

I’ve been showing you these same reports ever since I joined, today is the first day you bring this up. How come you’ve never shared any reports even after I asked you?

True we do have a much larger diaspora than you but that’s besides the point
