مستخلص: Ethiopia and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will continue discussions later this month regarding a potential bailout program that would assist Ethiopia in restructuring its debts. The IMF staff's two-week visit to Ethiopia resulted in significant progress towards determining how the IMF could support the country's economic program. Talks will resume during the IMF Spring Meetings in Washington, starting on April 15. An IMF program could also facilitate access to billions of dollars in concessional financing from other sources, such as the World Bank and African Development Bank. Ethiopia has been seeking to address its liabilities since 2021 due to a civil war in the Tigray region, which negatively impacted investor sentiment and economic growth. The government has applied to renegotiate its obligations under the Common Framework, a Group of 20 initiative aimed at helping poorer countries restructure loans with sovereigns, bondholders, and commercial lenders. The exact amount of liabilities Ethiopia intends to rework has not been disclosed, but as of September, the country's public sector external debt stood at $27.8 billion. [Extracted from the article]
