Ethiopian Engineering Corporation (EEC) reported a 60% year-over-year revenue growth, reaching 5.5 billion ETB in the first nine months of the 2024/25 fiscal year. The state-owned enterprise delivered 96 design projects, 251 contract supervision assignments, and 36 construction projects—achieving 88% physical and 101% financial performance.

The figures were presented during a high-level performance dialogue and site visit led by Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH) at EEC headquarters. The review focused on operational performance, strategic investment planning, and market diversification.

Among the 54 completed design and supervision projects and 22 completed construction projects are critical national developments, including the Sendafa Forensic DNA Laboratory, Bole Arabsa Wastewater Treatment Plant, National Bank Cash Center, Phase I Corridor Development, and initiatives under the “Dine for Generation” program.

EEC’s international expansion into Tanzania and Nigeria with road and water engineering consultancy services signals growing regional ambition. The company’s performance reflects its operating ethos—“Collaboration, Innovation & Deliver”—and underscores its role in Ethiopia’s infrastructure modernization.

EIH commended the results while urging EEC to deepen its focus on long-term investments, diversify its financing sources, and strengthen its foothold in foreign markets to broaden its client base and reduce overreliance on public contracts.

Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH) has appointed three distinguished leaders to its Board of Directors: Dr. Fitsum Assefa, Minister of Planning and Development; Hanna Arayaselassie, Minister of Justice; and Dr. Zeleke Temesgen, Commissioner of the Ethiopian Investment Commission (EIC).

Their collective experience is poised to drive forward Ethiopia’s ambitious agenda of strategic investments and dynamic portfolio management—key pillars for sustainable economic growth.

As EIH continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the country’s investment landscape, the inclusion of these influential figures will enhance its capacity to mobilize resources, foster innovation, and unlock new opportunities that align with Ethiopia’s long-term development goals.

 



 

Ethio Telecom has delivered impressive financial and operational results, posting a 7.9% increase in subscriptions, a 43% surge in top-line growth, and a 55.5% rise in EBITDA margin year-on-year. These gains pushed the state-owned telecom giant’s provisional revenue to ETB 61.9 billion for the first half of the Ethiopian fiscal year 2024/25. The figures were presented during a six-month performance dialogue with Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH).

A major contributor to this success is Telebirr, Ethio Telecom’s rapidly expanding digital finance platform. According to EIH, Telebirr facilitated transactions worth ETB 1.03 trillion for over 51.5 million users during the reporting period, generating ETB 1.67 billion in revenue, underscoring its growing role in Ethiopia’s digital economy.

EIH commended Ethio Telecom’s strategic execution, digital innovation, and contributions to financial inclusion. Looking ahead, the holding company advised Ethio Telecom to maintain its growth trajectory by enhancing service quality amid intensifying competition, optimizing operational efficiency, and staying attuned to global telecom and banking trends to ensure seamless industry collaboration.
