10DX Summit Ethiopia
Ethiopia's banking market is opening for the first time in 50 years. 128 million mobile money users. $1 billion in financial sector reforms. The rules are being written right now — and the winners are being decided.
Ethiopia's banking sector is at an inflection point. Parliament's December 2024 approval of foreign bank entry has opened one of Africa's last untapped markets — 120 million people with East Africa's largest GDP. Mobile money accounts exploded from under 1 million in 2020 to 128.5 million by late 2024, driven by exchange rate liberalisation, a $3.4 billion IMF program, and $700 million World Bank reforms.
With only 46% financial inclusion and 32 banks serving 120 million people, the competitive landscape is wide open — but not for long.
