"The headline is that Ethiopias poverty rate was projected by the world bank to be XX% in 2025 according to their poverty and equity breif published in October 2025.

Sadly our creditors had no other intention than getting their money bank as they were mutual funds and debt funds XX of which collectively hold a little over XX% so they werent too keen on restructuring.

"28/09/2025 - MPC is set to meet early next week and rumor has it that theyll lift the XX% credit cap. But if they do theyll also have to set other measures to keep credit expansion from exerting inflationary pressure. The common tools are Open Market Operations (thats when the NBE will buy/sell short term severities like T-bills to banks to extract liquidity meaning leave them with less money to lend) the second is increasing or decreasing the reserve ratio which is the amount of reserve that banks and other financial institutions are expected to keep in the NBEs vault. Third is the discount"

"07/08/2025 Black exchange rate fell like I predicted 😁 its as if the past week didnt even happen🤯.  🤔 well the simple answer is supply and demand of Forex in both the official and parallel/ black markets were affected by the prompt intervention of the NBE and banks.  🔮 well it depends if the NBE monitors the market and intervenes when the market experiences shocks then the depreciation wont be steep but if it doesnt what happened last week might happen again.

"Happy new year everyone In this new year I invite you to join the saving and investment challenge. Ill be doing it for myself but I thought it would be a good idea to invite yall too.

Second it to budget and use 2-5% of our annual income to invest in ourselves meaning building skills and furthering education through training courses and even attending paid events that are useful for our career and business. I am confident that if we all do"
