Moody’s Keeps Ethiopia’s Low Credit Rating—What’s Next for the Economy?

Addis Ababa, March 14, 2025 – Moody’s Ratings has completed its periodic review of Ethiopia’s sovereign credit rating, maintaining its Caa3 foreign currency and Caa2 local currency issuer ratings. The assessment underscores Ethiopia’s ongoing financial struggles, particularly in managing its external debt burden, despite recent economic reforms and financial assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. While Ethiopia has made notable progress in policy adjustments—such as shifting to a market-driven exchange rate—the country remains under economic stress, with continued negotiations on debt restructuring and significant fiscal vulnerabilities. The review does not signal an imminent change in Ethiopia’s credit rating, but it provides insights into the key factors shaping the nation’s financial future. Ethiopia has been engaged in a debt restructuring process under the G-20 Common Framework since February 2021, following increasing pressures on its external liquidity. However, despite ongoing negotiations, a final agreement with official sector creditors has not yet materialized. One of the most concerning developments in Ethiopia’s financial landscape was its failure to make a $1 billion principal payment on its eurobond in December 2024. This default reinforces investor concerns about Ethiopia’s ability to meet its external obligations and further deteriorates market confidence. Moody’s anticipates that losses for private-sector creditors remain highly probable, and until a restructuring deal is finalized, Ethiopia’s creditworthiness will remain weak. The protracted nature of the negotiations also raises concerns about how much debt relief Ethiopia can realistically secure and whether additional defaults could occur in the near future. In an effort to stabilize its economy, Ethiopia implemented a market-driven exchange rate policy, a key reform required by international financial institutions such as the IMF. The move was aimed at addressing long-standing external imbalances and acute foreign exchange shortages. Since the exchange rate liberalization, the Ethiopian birr has depreciated by 54% against the U.S. dollar, leading to significant economic shifts: While the currency reform has helped correct trade imbalances, its impact on everyday consumers and businesses remains a concern, with inflation expected to remain high in the near term. Moody’s has assigned Ethiopia a “ba2” economic strength rating, citing strong growth momentum as a key advantage. The country has consistently posted high GDP growth rates, largely driven by public investment in infrastructure and an expanding services sector. However, Moody’s notes several structural weaknesses that continue to constrain economic stability: Ethiopia’s institutional and governance strength is rated at “caa1”, reflecting persistent challenges in governance, regulatory effectiveness, and financial transparency. The country’s weak performance on global governance indicators, coupled with its history of default, has negatively impacted investor sentiment. Fiscal strength is rated at “b1”, indicating moderate financial management capabilities. However, concerns remain about: Moody’s assigns Ethiopia an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Credit Impact Score of 5, the weakest score possible, highlighting significant challenges: Moody’s maintains a stable outlook on Ethiopia’s credit rating, citing balanced risks at current levels. The future trajectory of Ethiopia’s financial stability will depend on key factors: ✅ Successful Debt Restructuring: If Ethiopia reaches a favorable deal with its creditors, securing substantial debt relief, this could improve its credit outlook and ease liquidity pressures. ✅ Continued Economic Reforms: Further steps toward liberalizing key sectors, strengthening fiscal policies, and attracting foreign direct investment will be crucial for long-term stability. 🚩 Risk of Further Defaults: If Ethiopia’s debt restructuring negotiations remain unresolved for an extended period, or if creditor losses exceed current expectations, further downgrades could occur. 🚩 Domestic Liquidity Risks: Rising domestic interest rates or increased difficulty in securing local financing could exacerbate the country’s fiscal challenges. 🚩 Foreign Exchange Stability: While a market-driven exchange rate has helped correct external imbalances, excessive depreciation could lead to further inflation and economic hardship. Ethiopia’s economic outlook remains fragile yet cautiously stable, with reforms bringing both opportunities and risks. The success of debt restructuring, coupled with fiscal and monetary policy adjustments, will be pivotal in restoring investor confidence and improving Ethiopia’s credit profile. For now, Ethiopia remains a high-risk investment destination, but with strategic economic adjustments and improved financial governance, it could gradually work toward a more sustainable financial future.

5.5-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Ethiopia’s Afar Region, Tremors Felt in Multiple Cities

A 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck Ethiopia’s Afar region on Sunday, March 7, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The earthquake’s epicenter was located approximately 45 kilometers north of Awash city, a region known for its geological activity. The tremor, which occurred at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers, was strong enough to be felt across several parts of the country, including Addis Ababa. The earthquake is the latest in a series of tremors that have affected Ethiopia in recent weeks. The last recorded earthquake in the country occurred nearly two weeks ago, on February 23, 2017, when a 5.2-magnitude tremor struck 46 kilometers east of Adigrat city. Similarly, earlier this month, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake was recorded just six kilometers from Metahara city, although it did not cause significant damage due to its deeper epicenter. Despite being slightly weaker than the Metahara earthquake, Sunday’s tremor was felt more widely, with reports of shaking from multiple areas, including the capital. Geological experts have highlighted that earthquakes measuring between 5.5 and 6.0 on the Richter scale have the potential to damage buildings and infrastructure, depending on their depth and location. According to the international earthquake-tracking website “Volcano Discovery,” the latest earthquake caused mild tremors in several cities, including Metahara, Mieso, Abomsa, and Gelemso. Residents in these areas reported experiencing shaking but no immediate reports of structural damage or casualties have been confirmed. The tremors also reached Kobo, Robit, and Debre Sina, where they were similarly described as mild. While Ethiopia is not as seismically active as some other parts of the world, the Afar region sits within the East African Rift, a tectonic boundary where the African continent is gradually splitting apart. This geological setting makes the region prone to occasional seismic activity, though large, destructive earthquakes remain relatively rare. Seismologists have pointed out that while Sunday’s earthquake was moderate in intensity, its shallow depth increased the likelihood of ground shaking being felt across a wider area. The Ethiopian Institute of Geophysics has urged residents in affected regions to remain cautious and prepared for potential aftershocks. Experts recommend that people living in earthquake-prone areas secure heavy furniture, identify safe zones within their homes, and be aware of emergency evacuation procedures. Government authorities are monitoring the situation closely and have assured the public that assessments are underway to evaluate any potential damage. Emergency response teams have been placed on alert, though no major incidents have been reported so far. As Ethiopia continues to experience periodic seismic activity, researchers and local authorities are emphasizing the need for increased preparedness and early warning systems to mitigate risks associated with future earthquakes.

Ethiopia Unveils $7.8 Billion Mega Airport in Bishoftu: A Game Changer for African Aviation

March 16, 2025 Ethiopia is set to redefine the future of air travel in Africa with its ambitious $7.8 billion Bishoftu Airport Hub. Ethiopian Airlines Group, Africa’s largest and most profitable airline, has unveiled plans for the new airport as it moves to alleviate mounting congestion at Addis Ababa’s Bole International Airport. The project, formally announced on March 15, 2025, is a landmark initiative that aims to cement Ethiopia’s role as a major aviation hub on the continent. Bole International Airport, currently handling around 17 million passengers annually, has reached its capacity limits due to surging demand. Ethiopian Airlines’ exponential growth, bolstered by its extensive African and global network, necessitates an expansion that can accommodate the increasing flow of passengers and cargo. The new Bishoftu hub is projected to have a capacity of over 60 million passengers per year by 2040, effectively tripling Ethiopia’s aviation capacity. The airport’s location in Bishoftu, approximately 40 km southeast of Addis Ababa, was strategically chosen for its accessibility and potential for infrastructure expansion. With air travel in Africa witnessing rapid growth, the new airport is expected to strengthen Ethiopia’s position as a key transit hub connecting Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Ethiopian Airlines Group signed a preliminary agreement with the African Development Bank (AfDB) on March 14, 2025, solidifying AfDB’s role in financing the mega project. Ethiopian Airlines CEO Mesfin Tasew and AfDB Vice President Nnenna Nwabufo led the discussions, which were concluded in the presence of AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina and Ethiopia’s Finance Minister Ahmed Shide. AfDB has been a crucial partner in Ethiopia’s economic development, with a current portfolio investment exceeding $1.2 billion across key sectors. The bank’s commitment to supporting the Bishoftu airport project underscores its strategic importance for Africa’s transportation and trade development. Adesina described the initiative as an “African flagship project” that aligns with Ethiopia’s broader economic transformation. The Bishoftu Airport Hub is expected to drive significant economic benefits beyond just aviation. By positioning Ethiopia as a leading travel and logistics center, the project will create thousands of direct and indirect jobs in construction, operations, and related services. Minister Ahmed Shide emphasized the airport’s role in Ethiopia’s macroeconomic reform strategy under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, which has targeted increased investment in critical infrastructure to drive inclusive growth. Ethiopia’s economy has been expanding at a strong pace, with an 8.1% GDP growth recorded in the past year. The new airport will complement the country’s efforts to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and boost the tourism sector, which has long been a priority for economic diversification. Ethiopia’s rich cultural heritage, historical landmarks, and scenic landscapes have been gaining global attention, but inadequate airport infrastructure has hindered its full potential. The Bishoftu Airport is expected to enhance Ethiopia’s tourism appeal by facilitating greater international arrivals and improving air connectivity across Africa and beyond. Bishoftu, a city already known for its natural attractions and military training centers, is set for a dramatic transformation with the development of this world-class airport. The project will likely trigger further urbanization, infrastructure upgrades, and investment inflows, making Bishoftu a key economic and logistical center for Ethiopia. Ethiopian Airlines, consistently recognized for its efficiency and strategic foresight, has played a leading role in making Addis Ababa a central hub for African aviation. The new airport represents the next phase of this vision, ensuring that Ethiopia remains a dominant force in the global airline industry. While the Bishoftu Airport project promises vast opportunities, it also presents challenges. Securing the full financing for the $7.8 billion development will require continued negotiations with international financial institutions, investors, and possibly public-private partnerships. Land acquisition, environmental concerns, and social impacts on local communities will also need to be carefully managed to ensure smooth execution. Furthermore, Ethiopia’s ongoing economic reforms and political stability will be crucial in maintaining investor confidence and ensuring timely project completion. Ethiopia’s new Bishoftu Airport Hub is more than just an infrastructure project—it is a bold statement of the country’s vision for the future. By 2040, Ethiopia aims to stand at the forefront of African aviation, providing seamless connectivity between continents and strengthening its economy in the process. With AfDB’s backing, government commitment, and Ethiopian Airlines’ operational excellence, the Bishoftu Airport is poised to become a game-changer for Ethiopia and Africa’s aviation landscape. As the project unfolds, it will be closely watched as a model for large-scale infrastructure development on the continent, setting new benchmarks for efficiency, connectivity, and economic impact.

Authority slaps heavy fines on paper-based securities with new directive

The Ethiopian Capital Market Authority has imposed stringent penalties on the issuance and use of paper-based securities as part of a bold push to modernize securities trading in the country. Effective upon registration with the Ministry of Justice, the directive levies fines starting at 100,000 Ethiopian birr and escalating by 10,000 birr daily for issuers who continue to issue physical certificates after the dematerialization deadline. This crackdown, targeting an estimated over a million security holders, aims at transitioning to a secure electronic system, aiming to eliminate fraud and enhance market efficiency. The directive, detailed across 33 articles and eight sections, mandates that all publicly offered securities—including those from state-owned enterprises and regional offerings—be dematerialized and registered with the Central Securities Depository (CSD). Issuers face a minimum fine of 100,000 birr, with a maximum of 500,000 birr, for issuing physical certificates post-effectiveness, alongside a daily penalty of 10,000 birr until compliance is achieved following an authority request for rectification. Additionally, issuers failing to update their memorandum of association or document of incorporation after the dematerialization date face fines ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 birr, with an additional fine of  5,000 birr per day. This regulatory overhaul is rooted in the Capital Market Proclamation and seeks to replace paper-based ownership with electronic bookkeeping records maintained by the CSD. The move addresses longstanding issues of inefficiency and vulnerability in Ethiopia’s financial system, where physical certificates have historically been prone to loss, theft, and forgery. To enforce compliance, the directive requires issuers to notify security holders of the dematerialization process through newspapers, SMS, email, and other channels. Beyond penalties for paper-based securities, the directive imposes a broad range of fines for other violations. Failure to reconcile securities registers before submission to the CSD can result in fines between 500,000 and one million birr, with an additional 50,000 birr per day of delay. Submitting false or misleading information or documents carries a penalty of up to one million birr, while securities depository members failing to segregate client assets face fines of up to 500,000 birr, plus 10,000 birr daily. Pledgees refusing to cooperate with pledgors to surrender physical securities are subject to fines of 50,000 to 100,000 birr, with an additional 5,000 birr per day. The directive also outlines operational requirements to support the transition. Security holders must open CSD accounts, depositing physical certificates for verification, with issuers storing them for 10 years post-dematerialization. A special account will manage unclaimed or unreclaimed securities after 10 years, requiring authority approval for any transfers. The CSD will maintain official ownership records, supplemented by issuers’ shadow registers, and issue periodic account statements to holders. Enforcement is robust, with the ECMA empowered to conduct inspections, engage external auditors, and impose measures such as trading suspensions or blacklisting. Complaints unresolved within 10 working days can be escalated to the authority, which will decide within 10 days, with decisions deemed final. Monthly reports on dematerialization progress are required, with non-compliance fines ranging from 30,000 to 40,000 birr, plus 2,000 birr daily.

Tensions Escalate in Mekele as Tigray Forces Seize Key Institutions Amid Political Crisis

Mekele, the capital of the Tigray region, witnessed a dramatic shift in political control on Thursday, March 3, 2017, as members of the Tigray Forces aligned with the TPLF faction led by Dr. Debretsion Gebremichael seized key government offices and media institutions. This power struggle between factions of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) underscores the deepening divisions that have paralyzed governance in the region, further exacerbating uncertainty and instability. The latest developments have intensified the internal power struggle within the TPLF, which has been divided between the faction led by Chairman Dr. Debretsion Gebremichael and the opposing faction under Interim President Getachew Reda. Amid ongoing disputes over governance, the faction aligned with Debretsion forcefully took over the Mekele mayor’s office and reappointed Dr. Redaei Berhe as the city’s mayor, despite a prior appointment of Ato Birhane Gebreyesus by the interim administration. Mekele, a city with nearly one million residents, has lacked a functional municipal government for four months due to the ongoing power struggle. The consequences of this leadership void have been severe, with basic public services suffering disruptions. As political factions continue to battle for control, ordinary citizens are left navigating an increasingly chaotic administrative landscape. The crisis in Mekele is not limited to political maneuvering. Tigray army commanders, primarily those who support the Debretsion-led faction, have begun dismantling the interim administrative structures across various cities and districts in Tigray. By taking control of government offices, they are systematically replacing officials appointed by the interim administration with leaders who had been elected before the outbreak of the Tigray war. This move is seen as an effort to restore the governing structure that existed prior to the war, rejecting the legitimacy of Getachew Reda’s administration. The recent seizure of offices by military-backed political factions represents a dangerous precedent, raising concerns about the potential for renewed conflict within the region. The military’s involvement in political affairs further complicates the fragile governance situation, as forceful removals and reappointments continue to escalate tensions between the factions. In a further demonstration of control, members of the Tigray Forces aligned with Debretsion took over FM Mekele 104.4, a key radio station in the region. According to BBC reports, armed members of the faction escorted in the new board of directors appointed by the Debretsion faction. The station’s employees have expressed confusion and concern over the sudden change in leadership, as armed forces now oversee its operations. “They were escorted by Tigray Forces; they took control of the radio station by force. Now the army is guarding the radio station; the workers are confused,” a station employee told the BBC. This is not the first time that an attempt to seize control of FM Mekele 104.4 has been made. In late January, a similar effort was thwarted when the interim administration under Getachew Reda intervened. The successful takeover this time raises significant concerns about press freedom in the region. The control of media by military-backed factions risks turning the radio station into a tool for political propaganda, further entrenching divisions. The political crisis has been exacerbated by the shifting allegiances within the Tigray military command. For months, Tigray army commanders had remained neutral in the dispute between the TPLF factions. However, their recent alignment with the Debretsion-led faction marks a significant turning point. This shift in military loyalty has provided the faction with the strength to dismantle interim administration structures and impose its authority over Mekele and other parts of the region. The August 2023 TPLF conference played a crucial role in shaping the current landscape. The military commanders, recognizing the legitimacy of the decisions made at that conference, have openly supported the call for leadership change within the interim administration. This decision has directly challenged Getachew Reda’s authority, further destabilizing the region’s governance. In response, interim President Getachew Reda has taken action against key figures in the Tigray military. He has suspended three senior commanders for allegedly undermining the structure of the government. Additionally, the head of the Tigray Peace and Security Bureau, Lt. Gen. Fisa Kidanu (Fisa Manjus), has also been suspended after refusing to accept the interim administration’s decisions. As tensions rise, the role of the federal government in resolving the crisis remains uncertain. Getachew Reda has hinted at the possibility of federal intervention, stating that the government has ample justification to provide “any kind of support” to stabilize the region. During a press briefing, Getachew Reda directly addressed Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, warning against engaging in negotiations with groups that have exploited the Pretoria Peace Agreement for political gain. “Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed should not negotiate with a party that has used the peace of the people, the Pretoria Agreement, and the stability of the country as collateral for personal and group interests,” Getachew Reda stated. However, the Tigray Peace and Security Bureau has countered these claims, expressing strong opposition to federal intervention. In a Facebook post, the bureau warned that involving external forces in the region’s internal political struggles would only worsen the crisis. “Any violent action in this regard will only lead to the problem shifting in another direction and worsening,” the statement read. “The people will not be happy.” The deepening crisis in Tigray underscores the region’s fragile post-war recovery. The power struggle between the two factions of the TPLF is not merely a political dispute but a broader struggle over the legitimacy of governance structures in the region. The military’s intervention has added a dangerous dimension to the conflict, raising the stakes for all parties involved. With the interim administration struggling to assert control and the Debretsion faction gaining military and political support, the situation remains volatile. Whether the federal government will intervene, whether negotiations will be possible between the rival factions, and how the people of Tigray will be affected by this ongoing power struggle remain critical concerns. As Mekele and other parts of the Tigray region continue to experience political upheaval, the need for a sustainable resolution to the crisis becomes increasingly urgent. Without a concerted effort to restore stability and governance, the region risks further fragmentation and unrest, undoing the fragile peace achieved after the two-year-long war.

Ethiopia’s Wheat Miracle: A Grand Vision or a Statistical Illusion?

Ethiopia has long been striving to transform its agricultural sector, and in recent years, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has championed a major push for wheat self-sufficiency. His government claims that the country, once synonymous with famine, has not only met its domestic wheat needs but is also exporting surplus grain. If true, this would represent a remarkable achievement for a nation that relied on wheat imports for nearly a quarter of its consumption just a few years ago. However, an investigation by The Economist suggests that Ethiopia’s wheat revolution may not be as groundbreaking as official figures suggest. The government claims that wheat production soared from 15.1 million tonnes in 2022-23 to 23 million tonnes the following year, placing Ethiopia among the world’s top wheat producers. Yet, independent estimates tell a different story. The African Development Bank (AfDB) puts Ethiopia’s 2023-24 wheat output at just 7.5 million tonnes, while the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated it at 5.8 million tonnes for 2022-23. The discrepancy in numbers is hard to ignore, especially as Ethiopia reportedly ceased wheat imports nearly four years ago. Yet, USDA data shows that private traders imported 400,000 tonnes of wheat in the first five months of 2024 alone—57% more than during the same period in 2023. The country imported 1.4 million tonnes of wheat last year while exporting just 150,000 tonnes, further raising doubts about its self-sufficiency claims. A deeper look into Ethiopia’s wheat strategy reveals ambitious state-led interventions, including the promotion of “cluster farms,” where smallholder farmers work collectively in large, mechanized operations. The government has also invested heavily in irrigation, provided subsidized fertilizers, and waived taxes on machinery imports. While these efforts have certainly boosted production, they may not justify the figures being presented. The controversy extends beyond numbers. In 2022, the Ethiopian government replaced the head of its statistical agency with a ruling party loyalist, allegedly after concerns were raised about inflated production estimates. Official figures published by Ethiopia’s central bank—mirroring external estimates of 5.8 million tonnes in 2022-23—were quietly removed from its website after The Economist inquired about them. The government later dismissed this as a “human error.” Beyond statistical inconsistencies, concerns persist about the long-term sustainability of Ethiopia’s wheat drive. A focus on wheat monocropping could degrade soil quality, potentially harming future yields. Meanwhile, the pressure on farmers to meet high production targets raises fears of resistance, a factor that has played a role in past political upheavals. If Ethiopia’s wheat success story is overstated, it raises serious questions not just for Ethiopians but for international organizations and African nations hoping to replicate its model. The FAO has praised Ethiopia’s progress, and the African Development Bank has commended its agricultural gains, but neither institution fully endorses the government’s production numbers. Even billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has recognized Ethiopia’s agricultural strides, though his foundation declined to comment on the figures. Meanwhile, Russia has become a key player in Africa’s wheat imports. Between July 2024 and February 2025, Ethiopia, alongside Nigeria, Tanzania, and Mozambique, is expected to import a significant amount of wheat from Russia. In fact, African countries collectively imported 18 million tonnes of Russian wheat, making up over 50% of Russia’s total wheat exports. For Ethiopia, credibility matters. If the government’s wheat claims are exaggerated, it could undermine trust in future economic reports and discourage investment in the agricultural sector. More importantly, millions of Ethiopians still rely on food aid—16 million in 2024, according to the World Food Programme. If Ethiopia were truly self-sufficient in wheat, such a high level of food insecurity would be difficult to explain.

Ethio-Djibouti Railway Line Now Powered by a Dedicated Electrical Supply

Addis Ababa, March 4, 2017 (FMC) – The Ethiopian Electricity Service has announced the completion of a dedicated power line for the Ethio-Djibouti Railway, ensuring a stable and uninterrupted electricity supply for the critical transport corridor. The 39-million-birr infrastructure project was undertaken to address the persistent power disruptions that previously affected railway operations. The Ethio-Djibouti Railway serves as a vital trade and transport route between Ethiopia and Djibouti, playing a crucial role in facilitating the movement of goods and passengers. The newly installed power line spans 11.3 kilometers and consists of 226 concrete poles, designed to withstand environmental conditions and ensure long-term reliability. This initiative is expected to enhance the efficiency, safety, and operational consistency of the railway, minimizing delays caused by power outages. According to the Sheger Region authorities, the direct power line has already contributed to more reliable and uninterrupted transport services, benefiting both passengers and freight operators. The Ethiopian Electricity Service further stated that the new line will primarily serve the Anole railway station, a key point along the railway route. Officials believe that this upgrade will not only strengthen the railway’s performance but also contribute to Ethiopia’s broader economic and logistical goals, ensuring smoother connectivity between the landlocked nation and the Port of Djibouti, its main gateway for international trade.
