It is the administrative capital of the Bosaso District and the principal commercial center of the Puntland regional state. Located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden, Bosaso serves as a major port facilitating trade between Somalia, the Arabian Peninsula, East Africa, and international markets.

The city is the economic hub of Puntland, with a diversified economy that includes maritime trade, fisheries, livestock exports, mining, and commerce. The Port of Bosaso is the largest in Puntland and among the busiest in Somalia, handling exports such as livestock, fish, frankincense, and gold.
