Some voices.

(Raee):

Wow "Three billion"?! "ሕዳር ትልቅሕዮ ማዓስ ትኸፍልዮ?" ብቐደሙዶ ስቕ ኢልካ "ይስለም" ኮይኑ? They really know how to control a country, without shooting a bullet. I remember somewhere in John Perkins' book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man," he said something like this,
when the West loans a country, they make sure the loan is so big it can not be paid back..., and in turn they can control its resources for years to come...
ኢትዮጵያ መዋጽእቲ ይፍጠረልኪ ጥራሕ'ዩ ዘብል።

This probably explains why the birr has been devalued, over last month. The country is broke.

I like the part which stated that Ethiopia
enjoyed a decade of high growth but RECENTLY ran into a capacity constraint and chronic shortage of foreign exchange
Recently??!

Ethiopia has actually experienced a noticeable shortage, since at least 2012. And every time, the solution was to "ignore it" (Debretsion) or loan even more. This problem is actually caused by the TPLF. Ethiopia had a 100% debt forgiveness back in 2006/2007 (after they invaded Somalia) but quickly racked up huge amounts in a short time.

Not only did Abiy choose to prioritize the wrong things but it is quite clear Ethiopia is heading towards a nightmare.

We're talking about an ethnic based (with their own militias), debt ridden, foreign currency crunched country planning to have an election.. Now all the politicians will make promises to build, invest etc.. With what money?

This is madness I tell you. Madness.

(Hillal):

In the last 20 yrs Ethiopia was able to get 39 billion in loans, grants, and economic aid. Sadly, 39 billion in capital flight from the country due to corruption, theft, and money laundering. Thus, building white elephant and prestige buildings and letting the IMF and WB write your economic master plans are not the idle ways for achieving sustainable economic development.

Eritrea's self-reliance and can-do spirit and be master of your economic destiny is a far more reliable economic route than Ethiopia's culture and addiction to aid, begging and asking for handouts.

Micromanaging the developing countries economies by the powers that be that are quick to prescribe debilitating structural economic adjustments that create mass economic dislocations and are unable to swallow their own medicine when it comes to their own nations' economies doesn't make sound economic sense.

Remember when we were hoodwinked during the financial crisis and meltdown then arcane words were used -stocks/bonds became quantum derivatives, bank robbers became fund managers, addiction/gambling became irrational exuberance, bankruptcy became toxic assets and government bailout became stimulus package. Sadly, the middle class has to bail the so called to big to fail oligarchies.

We are living in an era, that distinguishing between private and public enterprises are getting harder and harder. After all, we living in a world governed by big banks and oligarchies - corporate democracy not peoples democracy. Elections are financed by the oligarchies and elected officials are subservient to the corporations.

Debt decreased in Eritrea

https://countryeconomy.com/national-debt/eritrea

In 2018 Eritrea public debt was 3,497 million dollars, has decreased 269 million since 2017.

This amount means that the debt in 2018 reached 174.31% of Eritrea GDP, a 21.85 percentage point fall from 2017, when it was 196.16% of GDP.

If we check the tables we can see the evolution of Eritrea debt. It has risen since 2008 in global debt terms, when it was 2,397 million dollars although it has fallen as a percentage of GDP, when it amounted to 259.67%.

According to the last data point published, Eritrea per capita debt in 2018 was 690 dollars per inhabitant. In 2017 it was 743 dollars, afterwards dropping by 53dollars, and if we again check 2008 we can see that then the debt per person was 783 dollars .

The position of Eritrea, as compared with the rest of the world, has improved in 2018 in terms of GDP percentage. Currently it is country number 183 in the list of debt to GDP and 40 in debt per capita, out of the 186 we publish.

In this page we show you the progression of the public debt in Eritrea. You can see debt in other countries in Public debt and see all the information about Eritrea in economy of Eritrea.

Good for them? Not anybody gets loan... only the approved once:
For $ 3 billion loan Eritrea could build around Massawa and asseb the following:
Expand the two free trade zones and build two fully equipped industrial parks, two international air ports, two each five star hotels and two each resorts, expand the farms around the newly built micro dams, drill and find our oil and natural gas, also, build fish processing plant, one cement and building materials facility.
These can create 100,000 +jobs (Jobs for the heroes who have been defending the homeland tirelessly)
And with robust economy these loan can be paid back in 10 years

Plus a retirement mansion for the dictator & family one in Asmara and one in Massawa.
