Somalia’s Economy Shows Improvement Despite Climate Challenges, World Bank Report Finds

Mogadishu, Somalia – Somalia’s economic outlook appears to be brightening, according to the World Bank’s annual Somalia Economic Report. The report, launched at a conference today, highlighted the country’s progress in financial reform and debt relief, while also emphasizing the ongoing threat of climate change.

Financial Gains and Reforms

Somali Finance Minister, Bihi Iman Ige, welcomed the World Bank’s findings, indicating that Somalia’s economy has grown in 2024. He credited the Federal Government’s efforts in financial reform and debt forgiveness for this positive trend. The World Bank report corroborated this, pointing to a 3.7% increase in domestic income this year, with projections for a further rise of 3.9% in 2025. This follows a 3.1% increase in revenue reported in 2023, marking a steady upward trajectory since 2.4% growth in 2022.

The report also commended the Somali government’s progress in implementing financial reforms and strengthening the General System of Financial Administration. These reforms are seen as a key factor in boosting domestic revenue collection.

Climate Change Concerns

While the report paints a generally optimistic picture, it also acknowledges the significant challenge posed by climate change. Somalia has been heavily impacted by climate-related issues, and the conference addressed strategies to mitigate these effects.

International Support

Kristina Svensson, representing the World Bank, applauded the Somali government’s achievements in domestic revenue generation and financial system reforms. The World Bank’s annual report serves as a valuable tool for assessing Somalia’s economic development and identifying areas for further improvement. It provides a comprehensive overview of the country’s financial health, highlighting both progress made and challenges faced.

Looking Ahead

Despite internal and regional challenges, including tensions in the Red Sea, the war in Ukraine, and extreme weather events, Somalia’s economy appears to be on a positive trajectory. The continued implementation of financial reforms, coupled with international support and effective climate change mitigation strategies, will be crucial in sustaining this growth and improving the lives of Somalis.
