Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails.
Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.
Impressive exhibition of “Made in Ethiopia” manufactured products (video) at the very beautiful new Addis Abeba International Convention Center (AICC).
Ethiopia’s manufacturing capacity has grown steadily in the past few years. It now produces wide variety quality products including:
Trucks
Buses
Electric Vehicles (EV)
Solar panels
Drones
Electronics
Tractors
Boats
Furniture
Food & beverages
Manufacturing is one of the 5 key pillars of Ethiopia’s home grown economic reform program.
With the world’s 3rd cheapest energy per kwh, 47+ million young, trainable, deployable work force (2nd largest in Africa), abundant natural resources, close proximity to global export markets, and access to the 1.2 billion African market via the AfCFTA, Ethiopia is well positioned to be the “China of Africa” manufacturing hub.
The country has been amongst the 5 largest recipients of FDI in Africa for the last 5 years in a row (Number 2 in 2025) and most of the FDI has been in the manufacturing sector.
Domestic investors too have been actively investing in the manufacturing sector including the investment by one of the country largest local companies (East Africa Holdings) which recently inaugurated Africa’s largest cement factory (Lemi). Another large local company (BKG) produces electric buses, vehicles and charging stations. Drones too are now produced locally.
I was glad to meet at the exhibition two women who lead two very successful furniture manufacturers—Technostyle (Amelework) and Waryt (Tihitina). Very impressive high quality furniture locally manufactured for export and the domestic market.
We at CBE Capital Investment Bank @CBECapitalSC are already working with many Ethiopian manufacturers in capital raising (IPOs, Private Placements), M&A, JVs with international investors, etc. and look forward to supporting them in their future growth.

Ambassador Massinga and U.S. Embassy staff toured the Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute on April 9 to explore how American technology and innovation can help advance Ethiopia's digital transformation. The visit underscores growing U.S.-Ethiopia collaboration in artificial intelligence—a critical sector where American excellence can help Ethiopia achieve its ambitious goals for AI-driven solutions in healthcare, agriculture, education, and beyond.
"Data enabled research is transforming economies all around the world, and here in Ethiopia. Ethiopia is not going to be left behind. And we, in the United States, want to partner with Ethiopia, because we know that the Ethiopia growth story is found right at the Institute." — Ambassador Ervin J. Massinga

Happy birthday and congratulations to @flyethiopian on 80 years of excellence in aviation!
The U.S. Embassy celebrates this milestone alongside Ethiopian Airlines, a strong partner of U.S.-based companies.
Africa's biggest carrier is largely powered by @Boeing aircraft, which enable commerce across the continent and support more than 100,000 jobs at home in the United States.
Beginning in 1945, American Company TWA partnered with the government of Ethiopia to help found Ethiopian Airlines. American aviator Col. John Charles Robinson laid the groundwork for the airline's training program in its early days.
We wish Ethiopian Airlines continued success, growth, and many more years of bringing people together across the skies.
