A beautiful unique Caribbean restaurant has just opened in Ayat named, One Love Cafe. The owner is a white lady from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada and her Caribbean hubby is the DJ. On the menu? jerk chicken with a side of poutine. Love it. Diversity is indeed our strength!

Not really. The only guide is what is called the Laffer curve👇: if raising tax rate leades you to collect less both because of tax eviasion & you're taxing business to death, it is time to stop the growth rate of taxing.

That is what we call the Laffer curve. Here is one of my old article about it in relations to Ethiopia in Eth Bussines Review/EBR ethiopianbusinessreview.net/…

No doubt this vehicle belongs to a Chinese. In Chinese, 8 and rich sound alike, so Chinese people love the number of 8, which will bring them wealth.💰

Ethiopia has officially launched its rebased GDP, with 2017 E.C. (2024/25) replacing 2008 E.C. (2015/16) as the base year. Built on the Agriculture Census, Economic Establishment Census and Integrated Household Survey, the new series now captures digital finance, the capital market, dry-season irrigation and corridor development. • 2017 E.C. GDP: ETB 24.03 trillion (USD 201.4 bn), 59.2% above the old series • 2018 E.C.: 7.7% real growth, USD 210.7 bn • 5th largest economy in Africa, 3rd in Sub-Saharan Africa A stronger foundation for policy and planning. #Ethiopia #RebasedGDP
