This could be a word math problem to a grade 4 class, surely an easy problem for a 7th grade dropout like Abiy!
If one egg costs 25 birr, and a doctor's salary is 12,000 birr a month, how much is the doctor's salary in eggs?

A follow-up question for the 4th grader,
If the doctor and his wife (they can't afford kids ) eat nothing but eggs, and spend all their 12,000 on food, how many eggs do they each consume daily on an Ethiopian month of 30 days?

No problem Sele, I will work it out for you. The doctor's 12,000/month is equivalent to 480 eggs or 16 eggs a day. If they spend all his salary just on food, he and his wife survive on a diet of 8 eggs/a day, 2 for breakfast, 3 for lunch and 3 for supper!

Well done! You are slowly learning to do what Selam asks you to do!
Now do this: How does that beautiful calc of yours compare to the egg basket your grandfather had to supply to the Roman Selatos?

Ethiopia’s New Cash Transaction Limits Faces Challenges Ahead
June 14, 2025
Toronto – Earlier this week, Ethiopia’s Ministry of Finance announced that regulation restricting the amount of cash transactions is in the pipeline. 10,000 Ethiopian Birr, which is about $75 USD, is the maximum that a consumer can pay in cash. Those violating the regulation (both buyers and sellers) will be facing fines.
According to government authorities, the new legislation was intended to restrict the volume of cash transactions. There have been reports of chronic shortages of cash https://borkena.com/2023/09/11/ethiopia ... -in-banks/ in Ethiopia for a long time now.
TIkVah Ethiopia reported that it spoke to a senior Bank official to get remarks about the new legislation. The Bank official whose identity is undisclosed is cited as saying that the jurisdiction to regulate the amount of cash transactions should have been to National Bank of Ethiopia, not the Ministry of Finance.
The expert added that it is the central Bank that regulates money transfer systems and printing money; it should regulate restrictions on the regulation of money. It is unclear, if there was a consultation between the Ministry of finance and the National Bank of Ethiopia.
The policy to restrict cash transactions has been in discussion for a long time, according to the expert who emphasized the need for its gradual implementation. It has been at least 15 years now, since the practice was considered.
The goal is to promote digital and electronic transactions which minimizes expenses for money printing and transportation and minimize expenses for mutilated currency. It is considered as a significant cost minimization in that regard.
Why can it not be implemented in a short time?
Banking and financial infrastructures are a prerequisite to implement a policy like this. The expert cited earlier questions whether the elements of expanded telecom network, banking service and digital financial services are in place in the country at this point.
Over 80 percent of Ethiopia’s population lives in the rural areas, where banking access is limited. Many do not even have bank accounts and do not use mobile phones. Absolute reliance on cash transactions.
The banking expert thinks implementation of the new policies could come in stages.
