Africa-Press<\/a> – Ethiopia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>July 16,2021 (ENA) Minister of Finance, Ahmed Shide participated in a virtually meeting that focused on generating support for the 20th replenishment of the International Development Association (IDA).<\/p>\n

The main objective of the replenishment is to support Africa to have a resilient economy and recovery from the COVID-19 crisis as well as help the continent continue its economic transformation.<\/p>\n

The Minister, on behalf of Sahle-Work Zewde, the President of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, delivered Ethiopia\u2019s message which emphasized the importance of continuing IDA\u2019s highly concessional financing for African countries to support widen fiscal space and boost their ability to respond to the crisis without adding to debt vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

He also used the opportunity to express his appreciation for IDA\u2019s in providing rapid support to Ethiopia\u2019s COVID-19 response measures, according Minister of Finance.<\/p>\n

Since April 2020, IDA has been supporting Ethiopia for COVID emergency response.
