Ease of doing business in Djibouti
Djibouti, a strategically located African nation, presents unique opportunities for global organizations looking to expand their operations. According to the World Bank’s latest Ease of Doing Business Index, Djibouti ranks 112 out of 190 economies globally. This ranking reflects the country’s ongoing efforts to create a business-friendly environment that attracts foreign investment and fosters economic growth.
For international organizations, the Ease of Doing Business rank is an important indicator of the regulatory landscape and potential challenges they may encounter when operating in a new country. Djibouti’s rank implies that while the country has made strides in creating a conducive environment for business, there may still be complexities and nuances to navigate when setting up operations.

Hiring in Djibouti
When it comes to hiring talent in Djibouti, global organizations have two primary options: setting up their own entity or utilizing an employer of record (EOR) solution like Breedj.
