If you feel the threat of further division is growing amid on rest that left dozens dead critics of president as being fear of more rest in a country that is on the verge of the poor think of all the great forms im looking for more investments. All the perennial bowing and. At the show the europeans seem to come out. Of the seattle flyboys anything but. This is business africa. As well if european Prime Minister who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this year is planning reforms to revitalize the economy is goal is to promote growth and create new jobs but he needs to attract investors to do that many foreigners are glad to set up shop in the east african country because salaries are so cheap that but ethiopian workers. Come from east africa to finish off the growing process in germany and then theyll be sold worldwide plant breeders pair. Are investing in a new production site after setting up shop in uganda and kenya are now expanding to ethiopia because they say ethiopia is just right it has the perfect climate low salaries and its developing its infrastructure. Its not only businessmen from stock got that feel that way other investors are finding that ethiopia is just right for them as well direct Foreign Investment in ethiopia has increased in recent years in some sectors its above the average for Subsaharan Africa ethiopia is finally catching up with its neighbors who have benefited from direct investment for a long time. The Ethiopian Government wants to make Foreign Investors feel welcome the state Investment Commission promises to do more. The only. Post the proof of course. Was if this was not. In the past 5 years its still really crucial to be. Sure in the coming year since were really really. Interested in dumps the Huge Division in the ninetys. One of the most Important Industries in this deal. Stuff we can country is tech saws here in this factory in the capital addis ababa theyre producing clothes for the European Market german wholesalers like hugo and k i k have their products own an ethiopian to the country on the horn of africa has a long textile tradition but the workers in the Textile Factory say the low salary they get is not enough to live on. I mean i would need to earn twice as much to pay my rent and take care of my familys needs. Let me do. On prices there are going up faster than pay. Salaries in ethiopia are usually around 50 u. S. Dollars per month thats less than bangladesh in egypt and its much less than in china where workers get paid around 200. 00 u. S. Dollars a month investors want to make the most of that while they can. The countrys economy is growing but people have been responding to the governments reforms with protests there is a power struggle underway and there have been violent clashes like those in october which left many dead and injured. So what can be done to convince International Investors that ethiopia remains a good place to invest their money earlier today i spoke to looks hartman hes one of the founders of our going cultural business fruit box africa and an investor with a next extensive experience in africa i asked him what he thinks should be the highest priority for the Ethiopian Government right now. Security. Foreign exchange and stability certainly those 3 items are extremely important for Foreign Investors access to foreign currency is extremely tight there has been no progress in on this side security everyone has followed the news. They must act on this do you have confidence that the government will get things under control its very hard to to say because all the issues are extremely tough. To solve and in short period of time because people are are waiting and are pushing a lot so its very hard to foresee how quick the government can console that with the situation right now is it deterring investors at the moment i dont think so because you know when to 2 several periods of of the difficulties of Security Issues and the ones now are not are not worse than what we have seen in the past certainly we all regret that and it shouldnt go on like that what do investors in general like about ethiopia. If he appears the 2nd largest country in on the african continent with 110115 1000000 people. So its an extremely big country secondly people are extremely nice and welcoming so certainly this is also why oh why oh why people go there yeah thats that must be it and for sure a coffee i guess but also one reason for investors of course is cheap labor thats a good thing for investors but not necessarily for your peon workers do you see the middle ground that can be reached there needs to be a development cant be because also the time is different than 15 years ago social media is reporting so people know that they are cheap labor and fight against it so there needs to be a development here the problem is mostly in city areas where the labors that are paid are perhaps in line with the medium in ethiopia but the prices are very high so its especially textile Companies Need to need to look out and adapt their policies here would you favor a minimum wage. Im ok with it i dont have any problem with it that we pay actually 10 percent over what our neighbor is paying we will not go above that. For obvious reasons because we dont want to steal him his employees but here that thats fine for me thats up with thank you very much thank you.
