IMF Approves $261M for Ethiopia | Nile Dam Talks Resurface – Africa In Business

On this episode of Africa In Business, host Thami Ngubeni unpacks the latest economic and geopolitical developments shaping the Horn of Africa. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has approved a $261 million disbursement to Ethiopia following the successful completion of the fourth review of the country’s 48-month Extended Credit Facility (ECF) programme. The funding is expected to ease balance-of-payments pressures and support Ethiopia’s budget as it pushes ahead with economic reforms. In parallel, Egypt and Sudan have accepted a renewed U.S. mediation effort aimed at resolving the long-running dispute with Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and Nile River water security. To unpack what this means for investors, regional stability, and economic growth, Thami Ngubeni is joined by Mered Fikireyohannes, Founder and CEO of Pragma Investment Advisory.
