Ethiopia’s central bank held a high-level consultation with major coffee, sesame, and pulses exporters to address gaps in foreign-currency repatriation. Governor Eyob Tekalign said the National Bank of Ethiopia aims to strengthen compliance through partnership rather than enforcement, emphasizing timely and transparent return of export earnings. The bank said it remains focused on protecting national economic interests, improving accountability, and reinforcing the integrity of the country’s foreign-exchange management system.
