About Us

Established in 2021, FSD Ethiopia is an agency that aims to support the development of accessible, inclusive, and sustainable financial markets for economic growth and human development.
Our role is to identify the underlying causes of financial system failures, facilitate market actors to address these constraints, and help build a functional and effective financial sector that generates economic gains for a wide cross-section of Ethiopian individuals and businesses.
Our vision is to contribute to a thriving financial system that delivers real value to the broader economy and the people of Ethiopia.
