Capital market development is one of the key elements of the Government of Ethiopia (GoE)’s Home-Grown Economic Reform Program and 10-Year Development Plan (2021-2031). For the establishment of the Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX), the first securities exchange in Ethiopia, a dedicated Project Office (“ESX Project Office”) has been established under Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH) to formulate the overarching pre-implementation operational strategy and successful launch of ESX.
The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) has been assisting the ESX Project Office in strategy formulation, capacity-building, and market development. ECA, EIH, ESX Project Office, FSD Africa, with technical support from Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA), and financial support from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, are organizing a Capacity-Building Workshop for both public and private sectors, with a particular emphasis on potential issuers and investors on the thematic areas of 1) money market; 2) fixed income market; 3) equity market; and 4) policymaking and market development.
This workshop will be held on 6th (Thu) and 7th (Fri), July 2023, at Sholla 1 & 2, 1F, Radisson Blu Hotel Addis Ababa, each day for different group of participants. Participants can also join the workshop virtually. The registration link for both in-person and virtual participation is:
