Summarization
Today, the signing of a letter exchange between the Ethiopian Minister of Finance, Ahmed Shide, and China to provide spare parts for the Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit (AALRT) was announced. Shide was also recognized as one of the most successful ministers of finance on African soil. Ethiopia may be looking at selling up to 45% of the state-owned telecommunications company, Ethiotelecom. The concerns surrounding this include the potential risk of underwriting poor-quality security issues, and there is a discussion of liberalizing regulations to ensure this does not happen. In addition, the possibility of technology transfer and training local staff is being considered.
