Ethiopia Trade & Investment Research

Job ID: 40088734

Budget: $15 – $25 USD

I’m commissioning a focused study on Ethiopia’s trade and investment climate. Please analyse the most recent data to show where foreign capital is flowing, which sectors attract the bulk of new investment, and what incentives or barriers overseas companies currently face. I’m especially interested in bilateral trade figures, active free-trade agreements, and any government programmes that ease market entry for exporters or manufacturers.

I expect verifiable statistics from sources such as the National Bank of Ethiopia, EIC, World Bank, IMF, UN Comtrade or similarly reputable databases, accompanied by concise commentary that turns the numbers into clear insights an investor can act on.

Deliverables
• Executive summary (1–2 pages) highlighting key opportunities and risks
• Main report (10–12 pages) with charts, recent case studies, and sector-by-sector breakdowns
• Spreadsheet of raw data with citations and links to each source

Please structure the work so the findings can be updated easily in the future—using Excel for data tables and either Word or PowerPoint for the narrative is fine. Accuracy and up-to-date figures are critical; if a metric can’t be verified, note it clearly rather than estimating.
