Industrial policy is on the rise, but new research shows that it is not a magic bullet for economic growth. Instead, fiscal policies that support innovation and technology diffusion more broadly—plus basic research—are the answer. Read our blog: imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/20…

Wow!
NBE data shows over 56% of all bank deposits in Ethiopia were held by just less than one percent (0.5%) of depositors as of June 2023. This heavy concentration of deposits among a small minority points to serious underlying liquidity risk in the banking system.

A great step forward to bridging the huge financing gap the #Ethiopian entrepreneurs face. Can't wait to see for the opportunity the market players to be part of this innovative experience.
Grateful for the support from UNDP to enable us to address one of the binding constraints of access to finance to our startups through a creative and collaborative approach.
