Ethiopia Revises GDP Estimate to Approximately $201 Billion

On 5 November, Reuters reported that Ethiopia had revised the estimated size of its economy upward by nearly 60% to approximately $201 billion following a national accounts rebasing exercise. The revision reflects changes in measurement and the inclusion of economic activity more accurately; it should not be interpreted as a sudden increase in real economic output. The government presentation did not provide a separate project or contract value. The revised economic baseline creates demand for market intelligence, sector analysis, investment research and economic forecasting.
