Investment attractiveness of Ethiopia
Ethiopia is one of the largest countries in Africa, home to more than 120 million people. The Ethiopian government has adopted a program called “Economic Reforms for Domestic Development”, which provides a wide range of opportunities by inviting investment in priority business areas. It provides a number of incentives and preferences in the areas of taxation, customs duties, protection and return of capital investments, and the possibility of operating in a free trade zone.

Ethiopia pays considerable attention to the training of engineering and technical personnel and has a trained labor reserve. All these and other factors make Ethiopia an attractive destination for investors from other countries, including Russia, with which Ethiopia has longstanding and close relations. Chinese, Indian and Turkish companies are active in Ethiopia.
