Ethiopia has secured an impressive USD 4 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI), reflecting a 2.2% increase from the previous year despite facing significant economic challenges. This growth, driven largely by revitalised sectors such as agriculture, energy, and manufacturing, signals strong global investor confidence in the country’s economic direction.
The government’s targeted policy reforms have played a key role in attracting multinational interest, even as Ethiopia confronts the complex task of restructuring its USD 1 billion Eurobond following a recent default. This restructuring is critical for stabilising the economy and navigating external pressures such as market volatility and regional financial strains.
To maintain growth and investor trust, Ethiopia is implementing broad fiscal reforms and reinforcing monetary policies aimed at curbing inflation and supporting currency stability. These efforts highlight a strategic balance between growth ambition and financial prudence.
