Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Djibouti's services, value added (constant LCU) rose 4.6% on 2024 (from 502.15 billion to 525.45 billion).

This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 8% in 2016 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.7% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 17.98 billion a year. A straight line explains 94% of the movement over 10 observed years.

This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
