Panoramica
Sierra Leone (ISO code SL) lies on the Atlantic coast of West Africa, bordering Guinea and Liberia. It is a presidential republic with a tropical climate, a rainy season from May to October and the dry Harmattan season from November to April. Its economy rests on mining (iron ore, bauxite, rutile, diamonds, gold), agriculture and fisheries. Exports are dominated by mineral commodities and agricultural goods, while the country relies heavily on imports of food, petroleum products and manufactured goods. Logistically the deep-water port of Freetown (Queen Elizabeth II Quay) is the central gateway, complemented by Lungi airport and road corridors to neighbouring countries. Imports are subject to a 15 percent Goods and Services Tax and the ECOWAS Common External Tariff. The national currency is the new leone (SLE), which in 2022 replaced the old leone (SLL) at 1000 to 1.
