PARIS, France, 17 January 2017 -/African Media Agency (AMA)/- As the second largest African market, Ethiopia is one of the most robust and best performing economies on the continent, with a two-digit growth rate over the past 10 years (a 10,8% annual average since 2005).

Accompanied by a delegation of Ethiopian CEOs, the Prime Minister will present the strategic orientations of his economic policy as well as several concrete investment projects in high potential sectors. The Ethiopian Government has launched significant programmes in sectors such as transport, telecommunications, energy and industry, especially textile industry, to accelerate the structural transformation of the country's economy.

The Ethiopian Prime Minister will also participate in the "Head of State panel" where he will discuss Ethiopia's economic outlook, highlighting the private sector's role in its growth dynamic. In 2016, the Presidents of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana participated in this unique panel which has since become a highlight of the AFRICA CEO FORUM's programme.
