Why Access to Capital Matters

Access to finance is crucial for creating jobs, boosting productivity, and reducing poverty. However, Ethiopia’s funding landscape faces numerous challenges, such as limited access to risk capital for early-stage ventures, collateral-heavy loans, and government policies that restrict foreign investment.

Addressing these challenges requires a collaborative effort among government agencies, the private sector, and other development partners to create a resilient capital market system that responds to Ethiopia’s socio-economic challenges and enables local ownership of the country’s economic future.
