The Ethiopian government said it recorded 6,959 cyberattack attempts during the 2022/2023 fiscal year that ended on July 7. Ethiopia’s Information Network Security Administration (INSA) said it has rescued more than 23.2 billion Ethiopian birrs (about 416 million U.S. dollars) by thwarting cybercrime attempts during the reported period, state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC) reported late Monday. Cyberattack attempts in Ethiopia often target financial, security, intelligence, media and communication institutions as well as key government institutions and infrastructure, the FBC quoted INSA Director General Solomon Soka as saying. Ethiopia is upgrading its largely traditional basic services infrastructure and government bureaucracy, using cyber technology as a key component. Since assuming office in April 2018, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who was previously head of the INSA, has engaged in an ambitious drive to introduce cyber technology across all public and private sectors in the country.

Ethiopia’s Ministry of Finance exempted all electric vehicles from VAT, surtax, and excise tax!

Semi-knocked-down kits now attract a customs duty tax of 5% and fully built electric vehicles will have a customs duty of 15%.
