It is my pleasure to present, the Somalia Business Establishment Analysis Booklet, produced by the Somalia National Bureau of Statistics (SNBS) based on findings from the 2024 Business Establishment Census. This booklet marks an important milestone in strengthening Somalia’s economic statistics and provides an authoritative snapshot of the structure, distribution, and characteristics of business establishments operating across the country.

Reliable business statistics are essential for effective economic governance. They support evidence-based policymaking, private sector development, investment planning, job creation strategies, and the monitoring of national priorities. By establishing a robust baseline on establishments, sectoral activity, and geographic distribution, this booklet strengthens Somalia’s national evidence base and supports more targeted, inclusive, and responsive economic interventions.
