Somalia

The economy recovered from recession in 2020 to register estimated GDP growth of 2.0% in 2021, driven by private consumption and livestock exports. Multiple shocks including floods, locust invasions, and COVID- 19 curtailed the pace of recovery and increased poverty. Private consumption was boosted by remittances, which increased to an estimated 31.3% of GDP in 2021 from 30.8% in 2020. Private investment remained resilient, despite the slight reduction in FDI to 9.2% of GDP in 2021 from 9.4% in 2020.
