The Investment Commission of the Tigray Regional State's Interim Administration has announced that 55 investors with registered capital exceeding Birr 20 billion in the Tigray Region have been granted investment permits.

These permits were granted to investors engaged in socially and economically beneficial fields, primarily in agro-processing, manufacturing, construction equipment supply, tourist accommodation, and mining, from January to June 2023, according to the Development Investment Management Division of the Commission.

The licensed investors are expected to create job opportunities for 10,000 young people when they launch their production and services next year. The Commission is also conducting a survey to determine the status of over nine thousand investors who were previously engaged in investment in the region before the Tigray war.
