Following various measures taken to support remittance inflow, Mohamed said Ethiopians living abroad were able to remit $4.2 billion remittance in the budget year, surpassing the target set at $4 billion.

The deputy director also said the participation of the Ethiopian Diaspora community has shown encouraging participation in many areas ranging from investment and development projects to supporting issues of national interest.

The Diaspora also made 1.5 billion birr worth of contributions both in finance and in-kind to ongoing national projects and people in need of support.

These contributions include a total of 126 million birr support to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) project both in the form of Bond Purchase or Donation, according to the Diaspora Service office.
