In final analysis, one guess is an interval of $750-1500 (without rural incomes); which means that a very moderate taxation rate of 15% could potentially yield annual state spendings of around $100-225 per capita (some countries in the region have much higher taxation rates: eg at 30%). And Djibouti has an annual state spending of roughly $700 per capita, again with all the caveats and minor tax collection; there is thus absolutely no reason to attain a level similar to that of eritrea at roughly $200-250 or a third of the Djib level within a ten years period (the least ambitious scenario). Also, Eritrea generates steady state revenue through diaspora taxation, which helps in the face of minimal foreign aid but impressive records for an African recent country. As anyone well acquainted with the region know, there is no very high disparity between the economic activity levels of djibouti and that in the Western Somaliland region in particular, as Djibouti advantages of higher port and foreign rents revenues is compensated by its less free entreprise system of monopolies or higher costs. Thus, an upgrade of irrigation & beekeeping or construction (low-cost, appropriate technology), the major foreign currencies earner of cattle export resumed, linked meat and hides processing etc as well as better tax collection with increasing rates will easily match the current high growth on the other side in both the GDP and state budget. The importance of all that is not just the figures or even growth, already very high in Ethiopia and East Africa in general, but the potential to lower transport, water and power costs through public-private partnership, multiply rural incomes through irrigation etc, but above all, to deliver basic nutrition and public services in primary care or essential skills to those that can not afford the booming private sector. PS there is this interesting Somalilandinvest.net under the direction of the other forward looking minister of trade, Dr. Mohamed A Omar. No politics please, it's all about budgets and how best to ensure basic services to the masses or equality. Thnk Abu-Salman good analyses. I belief that Somaliland GDP isn't lower than that in Ethiopia and Eritrea, but text collection is very low and liberal state forming with small governmental organisation. Djibouti and Eritrea annual state spending is killer for economical development and Somaliland shouldn't fellow them. To create investment they should do more about banking laws and energy cost. This new portal is interesting looking provisional good case studies. I like green house that is exactly my dream.

It is future prediction in the western counties and in Japan it is already total strike. Read this article in the Guardian and you will realize "it is five to twelve" for marriage Why have young people in Japan stopped having sex? Japan's under-40s appear to be losing interest in conventional relationships. Millions aren't even dating, and increasing numbers can't be bothered with sex. For their government, "celibacy syndrome" is part of a looming national catastrophe. Japan already has one of the world's lowest birth rates. Its population of 126 million, which has been shrinking for the past decade, is projected to plunge a further one-third by 2060. Aoyama believes the country is experiencing "a flight from human intimacy" – and it's partly the government's fault.
