The Ministry of Finance projects the birr will stabilize in the upcoming 2026/27 fiscal year, despite a 15 percent depreciation against major foreign currencies over the past year. During his federal budget presentation to Parliament last week, Finance Minister Ahmed Shide forecasted a 9.8 percent overall economic growth for the coming fiscal year.
