Overview
Djibouti's gdp stood at $4.6B in 2025, a rise of +$460.9M from 2024. The IMF projects $4.6B by 2025. Djibouti ranked 156th globally.
Djibouti’s gross domestic product has risen from a trough of 340,989,527.97 in 1985 to an all‑time peak of 4,613,000,000.00 in 2025, placing the country at rank 156 globally and representing a more than thirteen‑fold increase over four decades. The expansion reflects modest diversification beyond port services, with growth rates accelerating in the 2010s as infrastructure projects linked to the China‑initiated Belt and Road Initiative took shape. Compared with peers of similar rank, Djibouti’s output is slightly below Liberia’s 5,182,000,000.00 and marginally above Suriname’s 4,496,000,000.00, highlighting its position at the lower end of the lower‑middle‑income spectrum. While the upward trajectory has been steady, future GDP performance will hinge on the country’s ability to attract further foreign direct investment, expand its logistics hub, and mitigate regional security risks that could disrupt trade flows.
