Fig. 6. DP World’s total economic impact in Senegal, 2022–2024
This section provides a high-level overview of the main. World's operations at the Port of Dakar between 2022 and 2024. It and employment. In addition, it presents key indicators that illustrate maintaining efficient and resilient port operations. between 2022 and 2024. Gains in efficiency - both in container 2022 to XOF 540 billion (USD 900 million) in 2024. This decline is trade prices and values despite an increase in trade volumes. The this decline when expressed in XOF terms. These external drivers are unrelated to DP World's activities at the port. In fact, the such as during 2023. The Port of Dakar's container throughput increased by 0ver 210% between 2008 and 2024, reflecting a to a greater long-term catalytic trade impact, despite year-to-year fluctuations in value-based metrics such as GVA. Furthermore, given the rise in container volumes, DP World's By operating the container terminal at the Port of Dakar, DP World supported an average of 17o,oo0 jobs annually over the review impact and its downstream catalytic trade impact. The core period. This is equivalent to 3.1% of total Senegalese employment. container terminal), as well as the indirect (supplier) and induced (wage-spend) impact.Meanwhile, the catalytic trade impact is with traded goods. Over the reference period, the value of traded the economic activity supported by the trade it facilitates. goods declined, and the national productivity (output generated Between 2022 and 2024, DP World's total economic impact per worker) increased. As a result, the estimated number of jobs increased from XOF 700 billion (USD 1.1 billion) to XOF supported in2024 is slightlylower than2022,even ascontainer 720 billion (USD 1.2 billion). On average, DP World's GVA volumes rose. However, the significant increase in trade volumes contribution is equivalent to 3.8% of Senegal's GDP. The contributions via the downstream catalytic trade impact channel, through the trade it facilitates, by providing efficient services
