Ethiopia is expected to record 10.2% economic growth during the 2025/26 fiscal year, which began on July 8, according to the Office of the Prime Minister.
This forecast reflects continued resilience, strong reform momentum, and sustained growth across key sectors, the same source said in a statement following the Council of Ministers’ review of a study on Ethiopia’s macroeconomic performance.
The agricultural sector is projected to grow by 7.8%, supported by improved productivity and input supply. The industrial sector is expected to expand by 13.2%, driven by new manufacturing projects and value chain integration.
The mining sector is expected to surpass performance targets, while services are projected to grow by 9.3%, fueled by the expansion of trade, transport, tourism, and the rise of the digital economy, the Prime Minister’s Office added.
According to the study, Ethiopia maintained robust growth during the previous fiscal year, achieving a 9.2% rate, driven by agriculture (7.3%), industry (13%), and services (7.5%).
