Share of World GDP: Djibouti

Analysis# Djibouti Share of World GDP Djibouti's share of world GDP stands at 0.005% in 2026, matching its all-time peak from 1991. Over the 35-year period since 1991, the country has experienced zero net change in its global economic share, despite a notable dip to 0.003% in 1998. This stability masks underlying economic volatility—the nation recovered from its late-1990s low and has maintained consistent representation in the global economy for over two decades. From 2017 through 2023, Djibouti remained flat at 0.004%, before rising to 0.005% in 2024. Projections through 2026 suggest this elevated level will persist, indicating modest recent growth acceleration. The trajectory reflects Djibouti's position as a small but strategically important economy in the Horn of Africa, with its economic influence remaining marginal on the world stage despite steady consolidation at current levels.
