In plain words
5.3% of GDP
What it is. Manufacturing value added is the value factories create from the materials and services they buy in, measured as their output minus those inputs. It is divided by GDP to show how much of the whole economy comes from making things. It covers registered and surveyed producers, and the national accounts may capture small workshops only in part.
Higher is better. A higher share is better because it means more of the country's income comes from processing goods, which tends to bring skilled jobs and productivity gains. The latest figure, for 2024, is 5.3% of GDP, up from 4.7% of GDP a year earlier, a rise of 0.58 percentage points. It is the highest reading since 2015, when the share stood at 2.7% of GDP, the lowest point in that span.
Why it matters. At 5.3% of GDP, manufacturing is still a small part of Djibouti's economy, though it is larger than at any point since 2015. A bigger factory base gives households more chances of paid work outside trade and services. It also gives firms more local production to build on and widens the range of activity the state can tax.
