Ethiopia Opens Property Ownership to Foreigners

In a significant policy shift, Ethiopia has announced plans to permit foreigners to own property within the country. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed unveiled this decision, signalling a major change in Ethiopia's real estate regulations and opening up opportunities for international investors.

The move to allow foreign ownership of property reflects Ethiopia's efforts to attract foreign investment and stimulate economic growth. By removing restrictions on property ownership, the government aims to create a more favourable environment for foreign investors looking to participate in the country's burgeoning real estate market.

Under the new policy, foreigners will have the opportunity to acquire land and property in Ethiopia, subject to certain regulations and guidelines. This initiative is expected to encourage foreign direct investment (FDI) in the real estate sector and drive development across various segments of the economy.

Ethiopia's decision to open up property ownership to foreigners comes amidst ongoing efforts to liberalise its economy and attract foreign capital. By embracing foreign investment in real estate, the country aims to spur infrastructure development, create employment opportunities, and foster economic prosperity.

Furthermore, the move is likely to have positive implications for the real estate market in Ethiopia, leading to increased demand for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. It also signals the government's commitment to promoting inclusive growth and fostering a conducive environment for foreign investors.

As Ethiopia embraces foreign ownership of property, stakeholders are optimistic about the potential benefits for the country's economy and real estate sector. The decision is expected to pave the way for increased investment inflows and contribute to Ethiopia's overall development agenda.
