Historic Launch: Ethiopia's Capital Market Officially Opens Trading on the Ethiopian Securities Exchange

Ethiopia achieved a significant financial milestone by officially launching trading on the Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX), enabling both government securities and equities to trade on a regulated platform for the first time as a cornerstone of the nation's Homegrown Economic Reform Agenda. The Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA) facilitated the achievement by establishing the necessary legal, institutional, and regulatory framework, creating opportunities for businesses to raise capital and for citizens to participate in the country's economic progress.
