Somali PM Outlines Enhanced Security Measures Impact on Investor Trust
PM Barre Commends Somali Business Community for Investing in Mogadishu
The Prime Minister of Somalia, Hamza Abdi Barre, has commended the Somali Business community for their various investments in the country.
He was speaking during the inauguration of the LC Waikiki market in Mogadishu on Thursday.
PM Barre attributed the success of such projects to the increased security measures put in place by the Federal Government of Somalia, stating that it has boosted investor confidence.
He also encouraged the Somali Businessmen to invest in more such projects, emphasizing that it would serve as an indicator to international businesses that Somalia is a suitable investment destination.
With the increased security surveillance in Mogadishu, the capital has witnessed an increase in modern markets, resulting in a reduction in the number of Somali people shopping outside the country and contributing to the development of the local economy.
LC Waikiki is a Turkish fashion retailer that has made significant strides in expanding its presence across Africa in recent years.
With its affordable and trendy clothing options, LC Waikiki has found success in catering to the diverse tastes and preferences of African consumers.
One of the key factors contributing to LC Waikiki’s success in Africa is its understanding of the local market dynamics.
The company has adapted its product offerings to suit the cultural and climatic differences present in various African countries.
“For example, it offers lightweight and breathable fabrics suitable for warmer climates, as well as modest clothing options that align with local cultural norms,” said Suleiman Mohamed a resident of Mogadishu and cloth designer.
LC Waikiki has also invested in establishing a strong retail infrastructure in Africa, with stores located in major cities and shopping centers across the continent. This widespread presence has allowed the brand to reach a large customer base and cater to the diverse needs of African consumers.
The company has been able to effectively connect with consumers and drive sales online by capitalizing on digital marketing and e-commerce opportunities in Africa.
