Ethiopian Growth Plan Cause for Debate
The international financial institutions claim that the Growth and Transformation Plan adopted by Ethiopia is over ambitious. The Ethiopian government counters the allegations by pointing to the 11.4% growth recorded in the last fiscal year.
The plan leans too heavily on output by public companies such as Sugar Corp. and Metal and Engineering Corp. and may put the whole macro economic stability at risk according to a World Bank official.
The success of the plan is attested by the impressive 11.4% growth recorded argues Meles Zenawi Prime Minister of Ethiopia. The 15% annual growth set in the growth plan is a marker to urge progress and all financial planning is figured according to the more realistic 11% mark explained the Prime Minister.
Commemorating International Women's Day, Ethiopian Airlines operated an all-women functioned flight to Washington DC on 7 March 2020.
Commenting on the awards, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO Mr. Mesfin Tasew, said “We are very glad to have won the 2022 APEX Regional Passenger Choice Awards for ‘Best Entertainment’ and ‘Best Cabin Service’ among African carriers. As a customer-centric airline, we do our best to exceed passengers’ expectations when it comes to the service we deliver onboard our fights. I would like to thank our passengers for their vote of confidence, and would like to assure them that we will remain committed to further enhance our in-flight service including our entertainment products to elevate customer experience.”
