Eritrea, with a population of around 6 million and a GDP of approximately $3 billion in 2023, has a largely agrarian economy. The per capita income is about $500. Key exports include minerals, particularly gold and copper, with the government focusing on expanding mining and agriculture.
Despite political and economic challenges, recent efforts aim to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) to develop mining and infrastructure sectors. The potential for growth exists in these areas, alongside improvements in agricultural productivity.
