In May 2019 Euromoney’s Emerging Market Belt and Road Index results said Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Laos showed some of the most impressive gains among tier-one investor climates since China’s Belt and Road push began in 2013.
The ranking mixed growth and risk metrics, and analysts linked rapid climbs to heavy infrastructure investment and related multiplier effects in mid-size economies.
Index stories are marketing as much as measurement, yet they still show how global finance media sold Ethiopia as an improving destination in 2019.
Kept as business archive, the EBRI Q1 2019 note dates one Belt-and-Road-era investor-climate ranking that featured Ethiopia.
