National Bank of Ethiopia (the central bank) released its latest MPC report. The report contains many valuable data points and details of various decisions the MPC has made. In my view, the most wide-reaching and impactful announcement is about inflation: In May 2025,

Africa’s GDP significantly under performing accounting only 2% of global GDP but 19% of the world’s population. If Africa were to invest smartly in its 1.5 billion people and is productive like China, its GDP could be ~$22 trillion (comparable to Europe) vs $2.4 trillion today

Did the U.S. fund the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) as President Trump stated? “First Post” TV asked me that key question during last night’s live interview (video). My response: No, the U.S. did not fund GERD. I believe the President was misinformed by his advisors.
