After a 50-year hiatus, Ethiopia on January 11 relaunched its stock exchange, the Ethiopian Securities Exchange.
The operations of the Ethiopia Securities Exchange were disrupted in 1974 following the takeover by a communist military government.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed described the relaunch as an “historic milestone” for Ethiopia’s economic and financial landscape.
