Trading with Ethiopia

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that financing trade with Ethiopia would be a risky business venture but could also be very rewarding if the right trade resources are put in place to reduce the associated risks. The author points out that the credit restrictions are so significant they prevent many entrepreneurs the opportunity of trading with the country: The risk verse the cost is simply unaffordable for many. The paper relates that the labor costs of doing business in Ethiopia would be very affordable due to the poverty levels in the country; however, the cost of shipping the goods or materials needed in the process could offset the savings on labor.

From the Paper:

"The question remains, what is it that would persuade or deter me from financing trade with Ethiopia? The first issue that comes to mind is the financial security associated to trading with a country that has not made any forward advancement in the wake of the viable trade market. Predominantly, the entire continent has not proven any gain or improvements when it comes to implementing a sound financial system that would support a good foreign trade program. The instability of the banking institutions allow very limited financing terms and amounts that are offered to investors that seek trade with Ethiopia."
