INSIGHTS FROM OUR PARTNERS
Djibouti has exciting plans to transform its economy through an ambitious strategic plan: Djibouti 2035,
which is based on the 4 key pillars of good governance private sector led diversication human capital
development in the areas of education and health and leading the way in strengthening regional
integration. The strategically located country on the Horn of Africa already has one of the highest economic
growth rates on the continent, with 7% forecast for 2015, and has successfully built the biggest port on the
eastern coast while further pursuing its vision of becoming the logistics and commercial hub for the whole of
East Africa. Djibouti is already well placed as the shipment port for Ethiopia, the second most populous
nation in Africa, and recently concluded a US$2 bn power link that supplies 70% of Djiboutis electricity
needs. Djibouti is also rapidly becoming an important hub for Islamic nance in Africa, with strong support
coming from the very top from H.E. Ismail Omar Guelleh, the President and Head of Government of the
Republic of Djibouti and, in less than a decade, Islamic banks have captured a signicant share of the
market and are providing better access to nancing. The Central Bank of Djibouti is leading the way in terms
of driving the practical legal and regulatory framework and Djiboutis strong commitment to Islamic nance is further cemented by
its drive to connect with the broader world of Islamic nance as evidenced by the country recently securing membership of both
the Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB), and the General Council for Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions (CIBAFI).
Djibouti is well placed to be an exciting growth hub for Islamic nance in Africa over the next few years."
