Ethiopia’s ongoing discussions with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank may lead to $10.5 billion of funding, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said.

“We have been negotiating with the IMF and World Bank on a wide range of issues,” Abiy told lawmakers in the capital, Addis Ababa, on Thursday. “When this process comes to a successful conclusion, and the reform is approved, we will receive $10.5 billion in the coming years.”
