Financial Times:
Ethiopia seen as hottest market for exporters
26 July 2016
Ethiopia is likely to be one of the fastest growing markets for western exporters in the next five years, while erstwhile emerging market heavyweights Brazil and South Africa offer paltry growth. Perhaps less surprisingly, China will continue to be the emerging market with the largest appetite for western imports, even if these fall well below the value of its exports, according to analysis by UniCredit, the Italian bank. Ethiopia, alongside neighbouring Kenya, ''are the two countries that provide the strongest opportunities in Africa, and they are catching up with South Africa,'' says Fadi Hassan, assistant professor of economics at Trinity College, Dublin, and consultant for UniCredit.
