The private sector itself faced low competitiveness, while numerous state-owned enterprises operated inefficiently, burdened by high levels of debt. Productivity remained low, and the economy was highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, we have adopted a new, pragmatic political economy approach. This shift has enabled the achievement of strong, double-digit growth momentum. Currently, the economy is growing at 9.2%, and we expect this to rise to 10.2% in the coming year. Sectorally, we are advancing targeted growth objectives: 7.9% in agriculture, 13.2% in industry, and 9.3% in services. These efforts reflect our commitment to building a more resilient, competitive, and inclusive economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-123-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-123-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-123-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-123-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-123-80x60.png 80w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-123.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-124-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-124-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-124-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-124-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-124.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-125-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-125-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-125-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-125-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-125.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-126-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-126-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-126-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-126-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-126.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-127-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-127-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-127-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-127-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gcs.gov.et\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/04\/image-127.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning, we begin the third 100-day review of government performance for the past year alongside a comprehensive assessment of the past nine months.
