Investment Policy Dialogue
On November 29th, 2017, took place the first Investment Policy Dialogue between the Ethiopian administration and foreign business communities. Representatives from the Ethiopian Investment Commission, the National Bank of Ethiopia and from the Main Department for Immigration and Nationality Affairs were present as well as members of the American, Chinese, Dutch, EU, French and Indian business communities.
The two topics at the agenda were (i) improving the allocation of forex and (ii) better immigration procedures. Following initial recommendations made by the business communities in June 2017, both Immigration and NBE came prepared to the meeting offering concrete solutions and commitments. EIC and the business communities also agreed on the steps forward in order to keep this Public-Private Dialogue productive and sustainable.
