No way,to even think Sing-a-Poor not ranking among the top leading economies is Brazil losing the soccer world cup.

Fiyarmata should draw more copies of Naqfa to compensate the revenue deficit. Her Naqfa are pretty looking


On a serious note, whose GDP is higher, Eritrea or Adere or Afar region? I always think Afar region has larger GDP than Eritrea

Ethiopia’s Public Debt Hits USD 62.5 Billion as New Report Sounds Alarm on Economic Stability

https://ethiopianbusinessreview.net/eth ... stability/

A newly released 22-year economic assessment by the Ethiopian Economics Association (EEA) has revealed that Ethiopia’s total public debt has surged to USD 62.5 billion, triggering renewed concerns over fiscal sustainability and the country’s broader economic trajectory. The report, which comprehensively reviews the nation’s economic performance and governance from 2001 to 2023, delivers a stark warning about the consequences of weak macroeconomic management, civil conflict, and slowing growth.

The 2025 edition of the assessment marks a turning point in methodology and depth, employing standardized and rigorous analytical tools to examine sectoral performance with greater consistency than previous editions. According to the findings, Ethiopia’s economic expansion has slowed considerably since 2016. Both gross domestic product (GDP) and GDP per capita have declined, signaling a reversal from the high-growth period of the 2000s and early 2010s. Inflation has accelerated during the same period, eroding purchasing power and weakening macroeconomic stability. Investment activity has also contracted, while the country’s productive capacity, which expanded until 2019, has since plateaued—limiting opportunities to enhance output and improve livelihoods.

The agricultural sector, historically the backbone of Ethiopia’s economy, has seen a steady decline in its share of GDP, particularly after 2004/05, as the service sector gained prominence. Despite its critical importance, fertilizer usage in the country remains far below international standards, and only 7.8 percent of total loans issued over the past two decades have supported agriculture. The consequences of this underinvestment have become evident in the nation’s food security. From 2020 to 2022, more than 21 percent of Ethiopians experienced food insecurity, with rural communities bearing the greatest burden.

The report also paints a grim picture of the manufacturing sector. In 2023, industrial output accounted for only 4.48 percent of GDP—well below the global average of 12.33 percent. Its contribution to employment was equally modest, at just 6.47 percent. Although import substitution efforts have yielded limited results, progress remains constrained by persistent shortages of raw materials and unreliable utility services. The report notes that challenges in electricity and water supply continue to limit productivity.

Ethiopia’s financial sector, described as shallow and underdeveloped, is struggling to support structural transformation. Credit allocation remains skewed toward non-productive areas, with key sectors like agriculture and industry often bypassed. While financial inclusion has improved overall, significant disparities remain between urban and rural populations, as well as between men and women.

On the fiscal side, government revenues have grown by over 200 percent in nominal terms between 2002 and 2022. However, these gains have been offset by rising inflation, which has reduced the real value of public spending. The country’s debt burden now equates to USD 575.6 per capita. With high levels of debt stress and an underperforming export sector, the report urges the government to improve revenue mobilization and expand foreign currency earnings.

Poverty trends also reveal troubling setbacks. Although the poverty rate dropped from 30.9 percent in 2018/19 to 26.1 percent in 2021/22, it remains higher than the 24 percent recorded in 2015/16. The poorest households have experienced the sharpest decline in living standards, worsened by inflation and recurring conflict.

Governance issues are another central concern. Since 2020, the report observes a deterioration in public trust and governance, contributing to increased unpredictability, internal conflict, and weak economic oversight. The erosion of investor confidence, rising unemployment, and stagnation in growth are all linked to prolonged instability and institutional weakness.

To address these challenges, the EEA emphasizes the need for consistent, prudent, and well-coordinated development policies. It advocates for stronger governance systems, renewed efforts to restore investor confidence, and the integration of peace-building initiatives into national development planning. In particular, the report recommends reallocating public spending towards long-term capital investment, broadening the tax base in a non-inflationary manner, and designing more inclusive financial policies.

1. What research is he talking about? He should tell us, so we can examine it.

2. How many of those claiming to be Eritreans seeking asylum, were/are Ethiopians from killil tigray?

3. Remittances, are just a fraction of the Eritrean economy. His country Pakistan, is 4th in the world in remittances. Eritrea, is not even in the top 100. Pakistan's remittance reached $43.1bn, a 32% increase from 2023, when overseas Pakistanis sent home $25.7bn.

4. Eritrea pop. growth:

Year Population Eritrea Global Rank
2025 3,607,003 132
2024 3,535,603 132
2023 3,470,390 132
2022 3,409,447 132

If you older than 34 years, you are lucky at least you saw two leaders in your life. But if you are younger than 34 years, you are the most unfortunate for your wasted your significant years of your life under one old man - you literally know nothing what has been going in the world. The camels of Eritrea has more freedom than Eritreans. You should have been smarter than the camels

Keep calm, carry on the legacy of eating wild cactus.

Despite having limited resources, Eritrea has been making significant efforts to achieve food self-sufficiency.

Broadly speaking, two distinct strategies can be identified to achieve a country's food security:

One is through pursuing "national food self-sufficiency" whereby food availability is obtained solely from domestic resources.

Few countries in practice implement such a strategy in a pure sense, although of all the countries in Eastern Africa, Eritrea is probably the country which most closely adopts such an approach.

.....and Eritrea is close to becoming self sufficient in food production.
