Ethiopia: Zemen Bank Achieves Milestone in Foreign Currency Mobilization

Zemen Bank has announced that it successfully mobilized over USD 500 million in foreign currency during the last fiscal year. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone for the bank, which has been serving the Ethiopian market for 16 years.
Zemen Bank has secured a USD 30 million trade finance facility from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a move aimed at bolstering the country's import and export activities. 
Zemen Bank disclosed it made a gross profit of 165 Million Birr and a net profit of 128 Million Birr during the last fiscal year. This figure is 36 percent higher than the Bank’s 2012/2013 fiscal year performance which saw 123.8 Million Birr before tax profit.
