The Ethiopian government needs to strike a balance between the need for stability, a sustainable economic growth model suited to the country's development goals, and the demand for political reform, -in order for the country to realize its full potential. These are some of the recommendations contained in a new report by the Institute for Security studies-ISS. The report explores the potential long-term impact of the reforms that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has introduced, on the future of the country, and presents the country's likely growth trajectory.
