AMN PLUS-March 26/2026
Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh has reaffirmed Ethiopia’s readiness for international trade and investment, describing the country as one rich in untapped potential and abundant opportunities.
The Deputy Prime Minister made the remarks at the opening of the fourth “Invest in Ethiopia 2026” Business Forum in Addis Ababa.
Temesgen noted that Ethiopia is not only a land of ancient civilization but is also emerging as a massive and viable investment destination undergoing rapid transformation.
The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted that Ethiopia’s investment potential is bolstered by its young and diligent population, vast untapped natural resources, and strategic geographic location.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the government’s homegrown economic reforms and comprehensive macroeconomic improvements have addressed outdated practices that were not conducive to modern and competitive economy. As part of these efforts, key sectors such as finance and telecommunications have been opened to international investment.
Temesgen also pointed to major infrastructure expansion and the development of reliable energy sources, particularly through the completion of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, as clear demonstrations of Ethiopia’s commitment to fostering a conducive investment climate.
The Deputy Prime Minister underscored that Ethiopia has established a legal framework that is favorable, transparent, and progressive for investors, reflecting the government’s belief that sustainable prosperity depends on active private sector participation and a well-managed, innovative economy.
As Ethiopia continues its rapid journey of growth, Temesgen encouraged both international and domestic investors to explore the country’s diverse investment opportunities.
