Ethiopia is targeting a growth rate of 10.2% for the 2025/2026 fiscal year, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has announced.
This strong momentum is driven in particular by exceptional agricultural production, with a harvest of 999 million quintals achieved over a six-month period, representing nearly 80% of the annual target, the Prime Minister told Parliament.
He also noted that Ethiopia’s industrial sector is experiencing a recovery and sustained growth, with production capacity rising to 66.3%, compared to around 47–48% three years ago.
Referring to the “Ethiopia Tamirt” (Made in Ethiopia) program launched nearly three years ago, Abiy Ahmed recalled that at its inception, national industries were operating at less than half of their capacity. Today, he said, they are operating at 66.3%, a level of progress he expects to continue.
