Ethiopia is one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies, offering high-potential investment opportunities across agriculture, manufacturing, mining, tourism, ICT, and services. Its strategic location—supported by rapidly expanding infrastructure—positions the country as a key gateway to African markets, while Ethiopian Airlines’ extensive global network further enhances international trade and connectivity.

Ethiopia has made notable infrastructure investments, including the start of construction of Bishoftu International Airport, a transformative $12.5 billion aviation megaproject that, when completed, is expected to become Africa’s largest airport with a capacity of up to 110 million passengers annually. Expanding road networks and a number of industrial parks offer ready-to-operate, investor-friendly facilities for investors.

Ethiopia has undertaken dynamic policy reforms by modernizing its investment framework. Ethiopia offers a range of competitive fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to boost investment returns, including tax and financial incentives. Investor protections and ease measures include guarantees against expropriation and for repatriation of funds, expedited visas and multi-entry options for key personnel, and a one-stop shop for registration and ongoing support.

Ethiopia presents a compelling investment destination by combining robust growth, market size, strategic access, workforce advantages, and supportive reforms.
