Capitalized at 100 Billion ETB, with the IFC set to contribute a minimum of $200 million, this wholesale institution will resolve long-standing liquidity mismatches in our banking sector and unlock accessible mortgage financing across Ethiopia.
This partnership is a critical step toward realizing our goal of delivering 1.5 million affordable, dignified homes for Ethiopian families while expanding private-sector participation in our financial system. Ethiopia continues to build a modern, resilient, and inclusive economy."

As the 26th Extraordinary Session of the Executive Council and the 21st Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union, held from 20 to 30 August 2025, concluded, the Ethiopian delegation successfully completed its participation in the sessions.
Led by Ambassador Hadera Abera, State Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia, the delegation commended the African Union for the renewed political momentum behind continental efforts on conflict prevention.
Ethiopia underscored that Africa does not lack norms and institutions for conflict prevention. The persistent challenge, it noted, is the gap between decisions and implementation, as well as between early warning and timely action. Ethiopia supports strengthening early warning mechanisms and translating them into timely preventive engagement. Furthermore, it highlighted the need for stronger implementation of Assembly and PSC decisions through existing institutional channels.
Africa should harness emerging technologies to strengthen its preventive capacity. Under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, AU Champion for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health, Ethiopia supports the responsible use of African-owned AI to improve conflict analysis, institutional preparedness, and timely political action.
Ethiopia emphasized that Africa’s commitment to conflict prevention needs to be reflected in how the continent finances peace with African resources. Ethiopia’s recent decision to move from Tier II to Tier I of the African Union Scale of Assessment is a conscious political choice to assume a greater share of responsibility for financing the Union.
Ethiopia, as usual, demonstrated its steadfast commitment to the common African agenda and actively engaged in the deliberations of the extraordinary sessions..
Finally, the Extraordinary Assembly of the African Union adopted a decision on the "Strengthening of Mechanisms for Conflict Prevention and Resolution in Africa", Luanda Action Plan and Implementation Matrix.
