Description
Summary:The Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) has set higher growth and investment targets than those of any of Ethiopia’s earlier national plans and its implementation requires faster growth in total factor productivity and large-scale mobilization of domestic and foreign savings.

We hereby focused on two financing options: increased domestic savings and increased foreign savings.
