The Embassy of Ethiopia participated in the 4th Annual Lecture and Conference 2026, hosted by the East Africa Association on 12 October 2026 at the Royal Over-Seas League in London, under the theme “The Architecture of African Capital: Pension Funds, Connected Exchanges and Diaspora Capital.”

 

The conference explored the evolving role of African capital markets in financing the continent’s industrial transformation. Discussions highlighted the Africa Risk-Reward Index 2026 and the Dangote Group’s landmark multi-exchange listing, underscoring the growing importance of financial market infrastructure, institutional investment and political commitment in mobilizing African capital for Africa’s development.

Participants, including capital market regulators, pension fund trustees, stock exchanges and development finance institutions, examined strategies to mobilize an estimated US$700 billion in pension assets and US$100 billion in diaspora capital to finance the continent’s growth and industrial development.

The Embassy also highlighted Ethiopia’s trade and investment opportunities across key economic sectors, emphasizing the government’s ongoing economic reforms aimed at improving the business environment, facilitating investment and strengthening private sector participation.

Ethiopia remains committed to expanding economic partnerships and engaging international investors to unlock its investment potential and support sustainable, inclusive economic growth.
