Overview
Djibouti's remittances received stood at $51.8M in 2025, a decline of +$4.2M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $51.8M by 2025. Djibouti ranked 162nd globally.
Djibouti’s remittance inflows have risen from 13,121,690.75 in 1991 to 51,840,646.93 in 2025, placing the country 162nd globally and keeping it within a narrow band alongside peers such as Sint Maarten (Dutch part) at 52,322,173.78 and Andorra at 50,655,015.34. The upward trajectory peaked in 2019 when receipts reached 79,461,628.06, before retreating to a low of 10,944,120.28 in 1996, the all‑time trough. Over the 35‑year coverage period, the average annual growth rate has been modest, reflecting Djibouti’s limited diaspora size and the concentration of migrant workers in the Gulf region. While the 2025 figure remains well below the 2019 high, it exceeds the 1990s trough by more than fourfold, indicating a gradual consolidation of external income sources. Continued expansion of formal channels and diversification of destination countries could sustain the modest upward trend in future years.
