The mirage of Djibouti s economic success
EXX Africa published a special report on the country s investment outlook on 24 May 2018. At first sight, Djibouti seems to be an attractive investment destination in an otherwise troubled Horn of Africa region. The country s apparent political stability is assured by the presence of multiple foreign military bases and relatively low exposure to regional security threats. Djibouti s strategic location near the world s busiest shipping lanes, controlling access to the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, continues to attract investment from African, western, Asian, and Gulf investors, particularly in the marine, construction, aviation, fuel, and defense sectors.Posted On:26-May-2018
