Ethiopia IMF Program Unlocks $16.6 Billion World Bank Package

The World Bank through the International Development Association agreed on a $1.5 billion financing for Ethiopia as part of a $16.6 billion package it’s committing to provide the nation over three years.

The development policy operation facility consists $1 billion grant and $500 million concessional credit for reforms that will help Ethiopia open up its economy, strengthen the financial sector, expand trade and improve fiscal transparency, the World Bank said in a statement on Tuesday.

“Subject to the Board’s approval of new operations and availability of IDA resources, this implies a total financial package of over $16.6 billion in undisbursed and future commitments available over the next three years,” it said.

The financing comes shortly after the International Monetary Fund approved a $3.4 billion four-year economic reform program for the Horn of Africa nation. Ethiopia needed an IMF program in place before it could resume debt restructuring talks under the Group of 20-backed common framework mechanism.

Ethiopia has been seeking to restructure some of its $28.4 billion of external loans for years. To clinch the IMF funding, it allowed its currency to float freely, which saw the birr plunge 23%.

  • Currently, Ethiopia receives more than $2 billion concessional financing annually from the IDA, with roughly half of that amount in grants.
