\n The forecast was unveiled during the government\u2019s 100-day macroeconomic performance review, which assessed both global trends and the nation\u2019s quarterly outcomes.\n <\/p>\n
\n The country\u2019s growth trajectory, officials noted, is underpinned by diversification, with agriculture contributing 31.3%, industry 30.2%, and services 39.6% to national output.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe coming year\u2019s 10.2% growth target reflects Ethiopia\u2019s resilience and the momentum of our structural transformation,\u201d a government representative said during the review.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cOur focus on industrialisation, energy expansion, and value addition continues to pay off.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
\n Among the major growth drivers is the completion of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD)<\/strong>, <\/a>a $4.8 billion megaproject expected to boost power generation, exports, and industrial productivity.\n <\/p>\n \n Other flagship initiatives, including new fertiliser plants and natural gas projects, are also set to enhance the country\u2019s manufacturing base.\n <\/p>\n \n The agriculture sector is projected to grow 7.8%, supported by improved input supply and productivity, <\/strong>while the industrial sector is expected to expand 13.2%, <\/strong><\/a>buoyed by manufacturing and mining growth. Services are forecast to increase 9.3%, fueled by digital finance, transport, and tourism.\n <\/p>\n \n In the first quarter of the fiscal year, commodity exports surpassed $2.5 billion, outpacing previous targets, while loan disbursements rose 113% year-on-year, a clear signal of rising private-sector confidence. Digital transactions also surged, totaling roughly $114 billion in just three months.\n <\/p>\n
