Ethiopia’s Commercial Code was enacted in 1960 and many argue that it’s time to revise it to better reflect the changes the country has experienced and current international economic and political dynamics. But what’s the best way forward? Government officials state that they’re working to codify new laws that will govern business practices – and that they’re drawing on internal experts to do so. However, others argue for better transparency and that calling upon international experts from more sophisticated economies – whether they’re Ethiopian or foreigners – will only help to better align the policies with the best practices of other countries. EBR’s Bantayehu Demile spoke with leading experts and researched the nuances of the issue to explore the tensions around the possible revision of the Commercial Code.
