Show full item recordBetween 2014 and 2016, Sierra Leone suffered the dual shock of the Ebola epidemic in 2014 and, in 2015, the closure of almost all iron ore mining, a main driving force of the economy since 2011. Recovery began in 2016: Ebola had been conquered and iron ore mining resumed. In 2016, GDP stood at 23.9 trillion Leones, the equivalent of US$ 3.8 billion at an annual average exchange rate in 2016 of 6,291.72 Leones per US$. Inflationary pressure and a substantial depreciation of the Leone in 2016, which continued in 2017, pose a threat to the economy and have a direct impact on fiscal stability. This country profile looks at key issues of Sierra Leone’s Agenda for Prosperity 2013–2018, such as the structural composition of the economy , the role of natural resources , human development , labor and employment and gender and can therefore contribute to assessing whether or not the objectives of the agenda can be achieved in time.
