Public Sector Reforms
Recent legislative changes, including the new income tax framework for public servants, represent essential steps toward modernizing our fiscal system. These reforms, supported by an overwhelming parliamentary majority, demonstrate our nation's commitment to sustainable economic governance.
While temporary adjustments may be necessary, these reforms are designed to create a more efficient and sustainable public sector that serves Ethiopia's long-term interests.
