"Investors will have to navigate both systems, and that could either lead to better compliance – or slow down projects considerably.”

"For years, regional voices in the mining sector were sidelined. This decision asserts that without local buy-in, mining operations will face legal and operational hurdles." The key is having the local regions on board as well as the mining ministry or whoever is its temporary head. Would expect to see more deals like the one with Akobo where the region has a direct stake. Kefi should be stressing future Ethiopian Investment into a new areas (or old ones it gets back).

Brook Taye(PhD), CEO of EIH, described the deal as a “historic and strategic breakthrough” for Ethiopia’s economic expansion.

As our first international mining stake, it reflects our 3D strategy – we diversify our investment portfolio, drive long-term innovation, and deliver benefits for the nation. Akobo’s sustainable approach and expertise make it the perfect partner for this milestone,” Brook said.

The agreement also marks Ethiopia’s return to the global stock market for the first time in more than a century. EIH said the move is part of its broader mandate to diversify the country’s investments and integrate Ethiopia into global financial markets.

We are honored to be the first international company selected for investment by Ethiopian Investment Holdings,” he said. “This milestone paves the way for Ethiopian investors to participate in supporting their own industry, fitting in with the country’s broader economic reforms.”

The partnership comes amid Ethiopia’s push to attract foreign investment in the mining sector, one of the five sectors the government is planning to strengthen its position in the global economy. AS

Harry differentiates between credit and board approval himself.

As for the gap between the two banks both approving at board level it is down to the second bank when they approve.

While not as big or as tricky as the parliament approval of AFC it would be the biggest hurdle left really all the rest is the usual process.

That gets done it should be just the usual steps but no hurdles.

Have to get second bank board approval soon if they are going to get definitive documents signed off.

Get that then publish final numbers will probably be more positivity.

Definitive sign off by all parties key which could be this might get clue if all parties are meeting.

More to do with redevelopment in the capital or other government projects in kefis case even though the land was technically owned by the government not by the locals would be a bad move not to pay out compensation and provide new housing.
