Ethiopia Secures $330Mn China Trade Deals as Abiy and Xi Expand Market Access | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost examines how Ethiopia and China are redefining their economic relationship under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and President Xi Jinping. During China’s "Big Market for All Initiative" in Addis Ababa, Chinese and Ethiopian companies finalized 33 groundbreaking agreements worth over $330 million. These pacts cover key commodities like coffee, oilseeds, leather, and minerals, designed to take advantage of Beijing's expanding zero-tariff access and reach China's 1.4 billion consumer market. While the new deals mark an important step toward boosting Ethiopian exports, a massive trade imbalance remains, with Ethiopia importing nearly $21 billion from China while exporting $369 million. To navigate these financial pressures, Addis Ababa is advancing major infrastructure like the $12.5 billion Bishoftu International Airport, securing strategic mining investments, and exploring currency swaps to convert dollar-denominated debt into Chinese yuan.
