Ethiopia has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and is Africa's second most populous country. Many properties owned by the government during the previous
regime have now been
privatized or are in the process of privatization and the liberalization of its financial sector in the near future. However, certain sectors such as
telecommunications,
financial and insurance services, air and
land transportation services, and retail, are considered as strategic sectors and are expected to remain under state control for the foreseeable future. Almost 50% of Ethiopia's population is under the age of 18. Even though education enrolment at primary and tertiary level has increased significantly,
job creation has not caught up with the increased output from educational institutes. The country must create hundreds of thousands of jobs every year just to keep up with
population growth.
