Ethiopians Greeting New Year with Mixed Emotions

Sept. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Ezega.com, Ethiopia’s leading internet portal, reported many interesting news and business data this week. The leading story of the week was in relation to the Ethiopian New Year 2004. There is a common feeling among Ethiopians that nothing much will change in their personal lives as well as in the country. The spirit for the approaching New Year seems peculiarly low.

Also in the news was the International Monetary Fund report, which forecasts a rather gloomy macroeconomic picture for Ethiopia, particularly blaming the government’s “loose monetary policy,” which has resulted in ever-increasing inflation. However, the report has been blocked due to serious concerns expressed by Ethiopia.

Another important piece of Ethiopian news during the week was about the declining craze for Ethiopian coffee among overseas buyers, who have expressed concern that listing of coffee on the Ethiopian Commodities Exchange affects the quality of the product. The ECX does not allow disclosure of places where Ethiopian coffee beans are grown. Moreover, the commodities exchange forbids buying coffee directly from farmers. Meanwhile, biggest US coffee retailer Starbucks continues to claim since 2006 that the ECX rules are a violation of regional branding practices.

On the Ethiopian jobs front, Ezega.com posted various interesting jobs for the week.
