In short
- Ethiopia’s finance forum opened on September 29, 2026, with an appeal for investor engagement.
- The National Bank of Ethiopia convened the three-day meeting in Addis Ababa.
Ethiopia’s second Finance Forum opened on September 29, 2026, with Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Truneh urging investors and development partners to engage with the country’s institutions and markets, according to Fana Broadcasting Corporate.
The National Bank of Ethiopia is convening the meeting at the Adwa Victory Memorial Museum in Addis Ababa. The organiser’s programme schedules the forum from September 29 to October 1, bringing together policymakers, financial institutions, investors and development partners.
The opening-day agenda links discussions of macroeconomic reform with practical questions about access to finance. It lists sessions on financial inclusion, agricultural finance, skills and housing, alongside a keynote presentation by central bank Governor Eyob Tekalign.
Across the wider programme, topics include foreign banking investment, digital financial infrastructure, insurance, depositor protection and capital markets. These are scheduled discussions, rather than confirmed policy decisions.
Fana’s account of the opening places the deputy prime minister’s appeal within the government’s effort to attract engagement with its economic reforms. Any new commitments or regulatory changes emerging from the forum will require separate confirmation.
