Ethiopia ranks third among the most dynamic African countries in 2025, according to the latest projections from the IMF.
Ethiopia holds the third position in the list of economic growth forecasts for African countries in 2025, published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
According to the IMF's projections, Ethiopia is expected to achieve a growth rate of 6.6% next year, behind Senegal (8.4%) and Rwanda (7.1%). The organization has listed the expected performances of fifteen African economies.
The IMF notes that despite four years of successive crises marked by rising global borrowing costs, a contraction in international demand, and volatility in commodity prices, sub-Saharan African countries have shown resilience.
In its report, the institution emphasizes that stabilizing public debt remains possible in most cases, despite high levels of indebtedness. It encourages governments in the region to prioritize prudence, consistency, and credibility to consolidate economic gains and strengthen resilience against uncertainties.
The IMF also reminds that, historically, several African countries have managed to stabilize or reduce their debt without resorting to restructurings, even after the end of the commodities supercycle.
