Introduction to Ethiopia's Economy. Ethiopia has been experiencing a period of rapid economic growth, with a 7% increase in GDP over the past year. This growth is largely driven by foreign investment, particularly from China. According to Dr. Yinager Dessie, Governor of the National Bank of Ethiopia, 'The country's strategic location and favorable business environment make it an attractive destination for foreign investors.' ## Key Sectors. The manufacturing and construction sectors are key drivers of Ethiopia's economy, with a growth rate of 15% and 12% respectively. The country is also investing heavily in infrastructure development, with a focus on transportation and energy. Looking to the future, Ethiopia is well-positioned to continue its economic growth, with a young and growing population and a government committed to supporting business and investment.
