ETHIOPIA: Investment Climate Statement 2015

Ethiopia s five-year Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) 2010 to 2015, which was approved by the Ethiopian Parliament in November 2010 and is currently in its fifth year, is driving Ethiopia s demand for and openness to foreign investment. The GTP overarching goals are to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and middle-income status by 2025. These goals translate to a focus on improving the quantity and quality of social services and infrastructure, ensuring macro-economic stability with targeted GDP growth of 11 to 14.9%, and enhancing productivity in agriculture and manufacturing.
