Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist

Landlocked Saharan/Sahelian country, all goods must transit through coastal neighbors, adding 7-21 days. Cotonou-Niamey corridor is the main route. Severe security challenges in border regions (jihadist insurgency in Tillaberi, Diffa, Tahoua regions) significantly affect logistics. Political instability (2023 military coup) has disrupted some trade relationships and led to ECOWAS sanctions. French documentation essential. Limited express courier services, DHL in Niamey only. Postal service extremely slow. Uranium exports dominate formal trade. One of the world's poorest countries. VAT at 19%.
