Latest News

The Ethiopian Capital Market Authority’s November 2025 guidance underscores that the securities industry can be exploited both to launder illicit funds and to generate illicit profits through activities such as market manipulation and insider trading. Despite this risk, suspicious transaction reports (STRs) from the sector have historically been relatively low. To address this gap, the guideline mandates a documented risk‑based approach: market intermediaries must identify money‑laundering risks by customer type, product and transaction, review these assessments regularly and focus attention on higher‑risk relationships.
-
Ethiopia’s Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), effective July 8 2025, marks a structural shift in African corporate taxation. Set at 2.5 percent of turnover, it ensures that companies contribute a baseline tax even when incentives or losses reduce their profit-based liability. This makes Ethiopia’s AMT one of the highest minimum-tax floors in Africa, exceeded only by Sierra Leone’s 3 percent rate.

Ethiopia’s digital payment ecosystem recorded an unprecedented expansion in the 2017 fiscal year, exceeding 17.7 trillion birr in total transactions. Mobile banking accounted for over 76% of the total, reflecting a rapid shift from traditional ATMs and POS to mobile-based platforms such as TeleBirr and digital wallets. The trend highlights Ethiopia’s accelerating transition toward a cash-light economy, driven by improved connectivity, financial inclusion, and fintech innovation.
