| Summary |
Faced with scarcity of resources, Djibouti has pursued a strategy of developing infrastructure to exploit its strategic geographic location so as to foster rapid growth, reduce poverty and create much-needed jobs. Djibouti has had to resort to non-concessional financing, which has raised its external debt. Reform is crucial to generate the revenues needed to return to a sustainable external debt and fiscal path, achieve higher growth, and reduce widespread poverty and unemployment |
