She emphasized that sustained collaboration between the regulator and market participants is essential for building a vibrant, transparent, and resilient capital market that contributes to Ethiopia’s economic development.

The Director General further noted that ECMA will continue to convene such engagements as part of its ongoing efforts to foster dialogue, strengthen partnerships, and support the sustainable development of Ethiopia’s capital market.
