Ethiopia, with a population of over 115 million as per 2020, is Africa's second most populous country in Africa. Ethiopia has been one of the world's fastest growing economies over the last 15 years at an average of 105 per year. Among other reasons, capital accumulation, particularly through public infrastructure projects, drove growth. The agriculture sector employs over 70% of the population and was unaffected by the COVID-19 epidemic.
