IMF to Review Implementation Schedule for Ethiopia’s New Economic Forecasting Model

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) plans to discuss the implementation timeline for Ethiopia’s new macroeconomic forecasting model with government authorities. While the project was initially targeted for completion in September 2026, concerns remain regarding whether this timeline is still viable. Ethiopia has been collaborating with the IMF to overhaul its economic forecasting framework through successive rounds of technical assistance. This upcoming review aims to clarify the project's status and establish a clear path forward for the implementation of the new economic tools.
