Key Takeaways
– Western Sahara remains one of the most statistically opaque territories on Earth, with zero key economic indicators available from the World Bank, rendering conventional analysis nearly impossible
– The territory’s sovereignty dispute between Morocco and the Polisario Front, unresolved for decades, creates a paralysing investment climate where no formal business registry or economic data collection can function
– As a United Nations-designated “non-self-governing territory,” Western Sahara exists in a legal and economic limbo that prevents the formation of standard national economic institutions
– The complete absence of GDP, inflation, unemployment, or population figures from the World Bank underscores a territory that is effectively invisible to global economic monitoring systems
– For investors and policymakers, Western Sahara represents a cautionary tale about how unresolved political status can render an entire territory economically unmeasurable and uninvestable
