Ethiopia Capital Markets Stakeholders Mapping: The ECMA & ESX The two main players in any capital market are the owners of capital or their representatives and those seeking capital to meet their funding requirements. Capital seekers (issuers) issue various securities (mainly debt or equities) to the capital providers (investors) in the capital markets. The role of the capital market is to provide a conduit through which this core transaction of capital transfer is conducted; in an orderly manner and within the confines of the law.

DAY 3 Main topic: Team Work. Task: Complete the dessert activity Am experience in group decision-making to assess and improve the individual and group efficiency levels. Whereby, we learnt that a good group should allow each member to contribute his/her own opinion in a given project. Most importantly, let's learn to listen to the most silent/quite people in the group. They seem to have the most important information that will help in the progress of the group into achieving the goals set. Why; 1. Because they listen more 2. They observe more Give them an opportunity to be hard. Lastly did an exercise on information seeking through the use of the BMC.

Developing of Capital Markets in Ethiopia: Tracing the Origins Share trading in Ethiopia has existed from 1957. Between 1959 to 1963 close to 61 Million Birr was moved as investment in shares of numerous companies that were issuing them. Of this 41 Million Birr was invested in foreign companies. In 1960 the National bank of Ethiopia (at the time the State Bank of Ethiopia) formed the share exchange department that played the role of underwriter and provided over-the-counter services. Prices were posted regularly at the bank’s main office and prices were set using trial and error method with third parties willing to buy and sell shares encouraged to quote their own bid and ask prices.

We had a privilege of being invited to attend a 5 day Capacity Building Program in Kisumu by ASSEK.Capacity Building Program, based on the United Nations Trade and Development Empretec Model, to help improve our entrepreneurship knowledge transfer and effective behavioural change in various businesses and start-ups. DAY 2: was so interesting, we did mind blowing group work activities that helped us to reflect on aspects that permeate an entrepreneur's life, and what impact do they have on life the moment he/she decides to start a business or change the way to run it. To achieve this, an entrepreneur has to have a clear starting point of; 1.Setting goals 2.Have systematic plan and monitoring 3.Good objectives All this can be achieved by, developing an entrepreneurial profile that requires an understanding of current competencies, strengths and weaknesses, and then choosing the ones an entrepreneur wants to focus on ASSEK The World Bank The Kenya Industry & Entrepreneurship Project Leah Nyambuche

Ethiopian Financial Sector Structure And The Liberalization Committee In early 2022, the Ethiopian government set up a committee that would be responsible for replacing the current financial services code with a new one that allows more liberalization; specifically, one that allows for the entry of foreign banks. In the last quarter of 2022, the council of Ministers (Cabinet of the Ethiopian government) issued a draft policy that allows for foreign ownership into its banking institutions. The draft allows for foreign lenders to acquire up to 30% equity stake and foreign individuals up to 5% equity stake. Additionally, these foreign banks will also be allowed to set p subsidies or open branches in the nation and get full banking license.
