Ethiopia’s economy grew 6.1% in the 2019/20 (July 8-July 7) fiscal year, its Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said on Monday.
In June, the Finance Ministry had said the economy had been projected to grow 9% for the period.
“For eight months we registered a healthy economic growth but after that, then coronavirus came and for the remaining four months we faced challenges,” Abiy told lawmakers.
