Ethiopian Airlines (ET) continues celebrating its 80 years of success. @flyethiopian At the Skylight Hotel yesterday, ET hosted a half a day event with an opening speech by the airline’s CEO, Mr. Mesfin Tassew, followed by an excellent deep-dive panel discussion with three senior government officials: 1. HE Ahmed Shide, Minister of Finance. @MoF_Ethiopia 2. HE Dr. Fitsum Assefa, Minister of Planning and Development. @MoPD_Ethiopia 3. HE Dr. Eyob Tekalegn, Governor of the National Bank of Ethiopia (the Central Bank). @NBEthiopia I had the pleasure of moderating this panel and posed the following questions to the speakers who addressed them in detail: 1. How do you see Ethiopian Airlines’s contribution to the economy? የኢትዮጵያ አየር መንገድ ለሀገራችን እድገት ያለው ሚና እና አስተዋጽኦ ምንድን ነው? 2. Ethiopian Airlines is 100% government owned but over the last 80 years, under various governments, it has continued to operate autonomously on a commercial basis like other major successful global carriers. How has this contributed to the success of the airline? የኢትዮጵያ አየር መንገድ በመንግስት ባለቤትነት የሚገኝ ቢሆንም ትርፋማና ስኬታማ የሆነ ተቋም ነው ይህ የባለቤትነት ይዞታ ለስኬቱ ምን አስተዋፅኦ አድርጓል? 3. ET’s leadership succession planning has been very successful. What can other state owned and private companies learn from it? ለኢትዮጵያ አየር መንገድ ስኬት አስተዋፅኦ ካደረጉ ምክንያቶች አንዱ ድርጅቱ የወደፊት አመራሮቹን በውስጥ አመራር ስልጠና እና ልምድ በማዘጋጀቱ ነው ይባላል። ይህንን እንዴት ያዩታል? ጠቃሚ ከሆነ በሌሎች የልማት ድርጅቶች ተግባራዊ ለማድረግ ምን ያግዳል? 4. What role does ET play in generating foreign exchange for the country and also reducing FX expenditures? የኢትዮጵያ አየር መንገድ ወደ ውጭ ሊወጣ ይችል የነበረ የውጭ ምንዛሬ ከማዳን እና ተጨማሪ የውጭ ምንዛሬ ለለሀገራችን ከማምጣት አኳያ እንዴት ይታያል? 5. How will the new Bishoftu International Airport (under construction), owned by ET, with a capacity of handling 110 million passengers and cost $12.5 billion, contribute to the growth of African and global aviation? አዲሱ የቢሾፍቱ ዓለም አቀፍ አውሮፕላን ማረፊያ (በግንባታ ላይ) ለአፍሪካ አቪዬሽን እድገት አስተዋጽኦ የሚያደርገው እንዴት ነው? ኤርፖርቱ 110 ሚሊዮን መንገደኞችን የማስተናገድ አቅም ሲኖረው 12.5 ቢሊዮን ዶላር ወጪ ይጠይቃል። Note: A second panel was also held focused on customer experience, with the following speakers: CEO, Dashen Bank, Asfaw Alemu CEO, Zemen Bank, Dereje Zebene Head of Visa Eastern Africa, Yared Endale CEO, @CBECapitalSC, (Me) Moderator: ET’s Group Vice President, Customer Experience, @Samson_AregaB Nigeria Kenya South Africa Uganda Tanzania Rwanda Ghana

Excellent business partnership between the U.S. and Ethiopia via the two most systemically critical companies in each country - Boeing (largest U.S. exporter) and Ethiopian Airlines (Africa’s largest and most profitable airline). Ethiopian Airlines, with 160 aircrafts, is by-far Boeing’s largest customer in Africa. The Airline is also the U.S. EX-IM Bank’s largest customer on the African continent. For every $1.0 billion of Boeing aircraft purchased by Ethiopian Airlines, 11,000 high paying American jobs are created or retained. It’ll be awesome to see Boeing aircrafts land at the 110 million passengers, $12.5 billion, Bishoftu International Airport (under construction) in Ethiopia, owned by Ethiopian Airlines. When completed the airport will be amongst the 10 largest in the WORLD! I expect the financing road shows in the U.S., for the new airport, currently underway, to be very positively received by U.S. financiers. Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines clearly demonstrating that investments and trade partnerships are the way to go between the U.S. and Africa. On behalf of @CBECapitalSC, big congratulations to all! @BoeingAirplanes @flyethiopian @AsstSecStateAF @USEmbassyAddis @ETEmbassyDCA @MoF_Ethiopia @PMEthiopia Nigeria Kenya South Africa Uganda Tanzania Rwanda

Africa’s 500 largest companies 2026, @TheAfricaReport The 15 largest highlight: By country 8 South Africa 2 Morocco 1 Ethiopia, Nigeria, Angola, Libya, Algeria By sector 6 Energy & utilities 3 Telecom 2 Retail 1 Transport (Ethiopian Airlines), Agro, chemical, mining Overall, from the 500 largest, East Africa’s two largest economies have 17 companies ranked. Note: the ranking excludes banks, insurance and other financial services companies. Kenya 12 Ethiopia 5 In the case of Ethiopia, there are many large private companies that could have been ranked in 2026 but the vast majority are family owned and therefore, by law, not required to publicly disclose their financials, similar to many other countries, including the U.S., that do not require public disclosure by private companies. However, I expect more private Ethiopian companies and even a few state owned enterprises to be ranked in the coming years as they list on ESX, Ethiopia’s new stock exchange. Our investment bank, CBECapitalSC.com, is currently preparing many Ethiopian companies for IPOs to list on ESX and possibly cross-list, in the future, on other East African exchanges such as NSE (Nairobi).

Listen to BBC News recent feature of our CEO Zemedeneh Negatu discussing the current economic climate in Ethiopia and its future outlook — including recent developments in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).

On the occasion of Eid al-Adha, CBE Capital acknowledges the values of sacrifice, compassion and community that this special time represents. We wish everyone observing a blessed and meaningful Eid. Eid Mubarak.
