Ministry of Finance Development Department of Macroeconomic Affairs and Statistics Jan. 20 8 2. Import s Somaliland imports a wide range of products consisting mainly of food items, petroleum products, building materials, machinery and equipment, consumer goods, pharmaceutical s , tobacco and motor vehicles, etc. The bulk of the imports originate from Ethiopia, China, Kenya, U.A.E , Yemen, Saudi Arabia, India, Tha iland and Malaysia. Ka a t trade and consumption play a significant role in the economy. It providing employment to thousands of people and is a main source of revenue for the Ministry of finance, h owever, k aat trade constitues a big drain on the meagure foreign currency resources of the country. Taxation of imports/exports could be a primary source of potential revenue but is constrained by lack of regulation and effective promotion of trade. Unlike most developing countries which grow their food, Somaliland relies on food imports despite enough arable land in the country. This is mainly due to the nomadic way of life and the subsistence food production mode that is prevelent in Somaliland. 2.1. T r ade Balance : Jan Dec 2019 The figure below shows the trade balance of Somaliland in the first six months of 2019. Somalila nd registered a tade deficit of $ 361,276,119 w hich is to a certain extent an under estimate as the import values are based on the customs valuation book which uses figures well below the current value of commodities. The total value of import s in Somaliland Shilling = 3,436,283,817,457 The total value of export s in Somaliland Shilling = 1,270,397,112 ,000 Equivalent Value of Imports to USD = $ 572,713,970 Equivalent Value of Exports to USD = $ 211,732,852 The Net Trade Balance of Somaliland= $ 211, 732,852 – $ 572,713,970 = ($ 360,981,118 )
