Ethiopia has been among the fastest-growing economies in Africa and globally since 2003. From 2005 to 2015, the growth of real GDP averaged more than 10 per cent per year, enabling the country to double its per capita GDP (reaching $720 in 2017) and reducing substantially extreme poverty from 37.2 per cent of the population in 2004 to 27.3 per cent in 2015. This growth is the fastest that the country has experienced and is considerably above the average achieved by low-income and sub-Saharan African countries during this period.
