Abiy expected to retain power in Ethiopia election

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is likely to retain power in elections amid security challenges and rising tensions in the northern Tigray region. The African Development Bank projects economic growth of 7.8% in 2025-26 and 8.5% in 2026-27, but Ethiopia faces 'unsustainable' external debt. Abiy has pursued economic liberalization, including reopening a stock exchange and boosting state-owned enterprise revenue.
