About
Ethiopia has been one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, but has recently faced severe macroeconomic imbalances and high unemployment. Since 2010, IGC Ethiopia has conducted research on growth topics driven by active consultation with local policymakers, think tanks, international organisations, and the private sector.
Early projects included work on the Enterprise Map of Ethiopia with the Ethiopian Investment Commission, housing issues for manufacturing workers, bank management practices, and trade liberalisation and infrastructure improvements’ impact on firm productivity. We continue to develop policy-relevant research in the areas of firm productivity, jobs and labour markets, and macroeconomic management such as foreign exchange and inflation.
IGC Ethiopia works alongside the Policy Studies Institute to partner with Ethiopian policymakers on independent research of the highest quality. It promotes collaboration with local researchers, including building a local researcher network by engaging with the Ethiopian Economics Association.
