Ethiopia Says It Will Float Currency Under Economic Reform Plan
A vendor counts out Ethiopian birr banknotes at the Shola market in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Thursday, Dec. 7, 2023. The Horn of Africa nation has been seeking to rework its liabilities since 2021 as a civil war in the northern Tigray region soured investor sentiment and sapped economic growth. (Bloomberg) -- Ethiopia plans to float its currency, the birr, as part of ongoing macroeconomic reforms, according to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. One of the program’s objectives is “correcting foreign exchange distortions and solving the structural balance of payments deficit problems,” Abiy said in a lengthy policy statement posted on X, formerly Twitter. Abiy said a market-based FX regime is critical to relieving currency shortages, removing constraints to private sector investment and growth, and aligning the prices of imported and exported goods and services with market realities.

Exploring Pakistan-Ethiopia Cooperative Ties
Ambassador Jemal Beker AbdulaThe cooperative ties between Islamabad and Addis Ababa have been refreshed by the Ethiopian government’s decision to open the embassy in Islamabad on May 11, 2023, to strengthen the economic cooperation between the two states formally. While appreciating the Addis Ababa’s choice of formalizing the ambassadorial relations with Pakistan, and the government of Pakistan accepted the need for boosting multidimensional cooperative ties between Pakistan and African nations. The major turn in the bilateral ties occurred in 1973 with the formal opening of the Pakistan’s Embassy in Addis Ababa under Islamabad’s broader framework of Engage Africa Policy. In this way, the governments of both nations witnessed a brief era of strong political coordination, diplomatic support, and economic cooperation throughout history. However, Addis Ababa’s launching of formal ambassadorial services in Islamabad started facilitating the two-sided governments in exploring new platforms for trading collaborations.
