The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) has convened a five‑day Capacity‑Building and Technical Workshop aimed at advancing Ethiopia’s capital markets.
The workshop is jointly organized with the Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA), the Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX), FSD Ethiopia, and the Development Bank of Ethiopia (DBE). It brings together regulators, market institutions, financial‑sector actors, institutional investors, issuers, and development partners to support Ethiopia’s transition toward a capital market capable of mobilizing long‑term domestic finance for inclusive and sustainable development.
Opening the workshop, Sonia Essobmadje, Chief of the Finance and Domestic Resource Mobilization Section at ECA, emphasized the importance of moving from policy ambition to practical implementation.
“Capital markets are a key pillar for mobilizing long‑term finance. This workshop reflects ECA’s commitment to practical, evidence‑based support that helps countries move from framework‑building to delivery,” she said.
