Key Takeaways
– Western Sahara remains a “non-self-governing territory” per the United Nations, with sovereignty contested between Morocco and the Polisario Front — a status that fundamentally shapes every aspect of its economic reality.
– The World Bank publishes no core economic indicators for the territory — no GDP, no inflation rate, no unemployment figures — making it one of the most data-scarce regions on the African continent.
– The absence of internationally recognized statistical infrastructure means the territory’s economy operates largely outside formal measurement systems, complicating investment, aid, and development planning.
– The unresolved political status creates a dual-administration reality, with different parts of the territory subject to different governance structures, legal frameworks, and economic policies.
– For businesses and policymakers, Western Sahara represents a high-risk, high-uncertainty environment where political resolution — not market fundamentals — will determine economic trajectory.
