Addis Ababa, April 1, 2026 (FMC) – Ethiopia’s ongoing economic reforms are drawing major global investments, reflecting the momentum generated by the country’s Homegrown Economic Reform Agenda, the Office of the Prime Minister said today.
At the recent Invest in Ethiopia 2026 high-level business forum, the government announced $13.1 billion in investment agreements with partners from China, Poland, India, Singapore, and Kenya, spanning renewable energy, mining, and green ammonia, the PM Office said.
In a post on its social media pages, the PM Office highlighted that decisive reforms, including currency liberalisation and opening the banking and telecom sectors, have established a transparent, investor-friendly ecosystem, supported by modern Special Economic Zones and access to global markets through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
The statement noted that the momentum is visible across all strategic sectors. By leveraging Ethiopia’s renewable energy resources anchored by the GERD, the country is advancing solar manufacturing and hydrogen projects while scaling mining sector productivity. Industrial growth is accelerating through Special Economic Zones, while the ICT sector drives rapid digital transformation.
It also emphasized that combined with the world-class connectivity of Ethiopian Airlines and Ethiopia’s rich cultural heritage, the country is positioned as a premier destination for global trade and tourism.
The PM’s Office concluded: “The Government of Ethiopia is driving a new era of execution. We invite the global community to partner with us; Ethiopia is ready for business like never before.”
