Nigerian banks had to deal with a devalued naira in 2024, but they were not alone. The Egyptian government floated the pound in March 2024, and the currency fell by 60%. The South African rand remained relatively stable in 2024 after a tumultuous time the year before.

ስኬት ባንክ በራሱ ለመቀጠል የሚያስችል የፋይናንስ አቅም እንዳለው አስታወቀ

በቅርቡ ከተቋቋሙት የኢትዮጵያ ንግድ ባንኮች አንዱ የሆነው ስኬት ባንክ ከሌሎች ባንኮች ጋር ሳይዋሃድ ሪሱን ችሎ ለመቀጠል የሚያስችል የፋይናንስ አቅም እንዳለው አስታውቋል።

ባንኩ የ2016 በጀት ዓመት ከ1.6 ቢሊዮን ብር በላይ ትርፍ ማስመዝገቡንና የተከፈለ ካፒታሉ ከ8 ቢሊዮን ብር በላይ መድረሱን ዋና ሥራ አስፈጻሚው አቶ ዳምጤ አለማየሁ ገልጸዋል።

ባንኩ ከ600,000 በላይ ደንበኞችና በፍጥነት እየሰፋ የሚሄድ የቅርንጫፍ አውታረ መረብ ያለው ሲሆን፣ የኢትዮጵያ ብሔራዊ ባንክ የባንክ ዘርፉን ለማጠናከር ውህደትን እያበረታታ ቢሆንም ስኬት ባንክ ዝቅተኛውን የ5 ቢሊዮን ብር የተከፈለ ካፒታል መስፈርት ቀድሞውኑ አልፏል።

በተጨማሪም ስኬት ባንክ ከዓለም ባንክ ጋር በመተባበር የብድር አመልካቾችን የስነ ልቦና ፕሮፋይል በመገምገም የብድር ብቁነትን የሚወስን አዲስ ሳይኮሜትሪክ ሞዴል ይፋ አድርጓል።

ይህ ተነሳሽነት ዋስትና የሌላቸውን አነስተኛ የንግድ ሥራ ባለቤቶችን ለመደገፍ ያለመ ሲሆን ከሀገሪቱ "ኢትዮጵያ ታምርት" እንቅስቃሴ ጋር የሚጣጣም ነው ብሏል።

ዋና ሥራ አስፈጻሚው የውጭ ባንኮች ወደ ኢትዮጵያ ገበያ መምጣት ለባንካቸው ዕድገት ዕድል እንደሚፈጥርላቸው ያላቸውን እምነት ገልጸዋል።

" 4 ኪሎ ቤተመንግስት ዙሪያ ያሉ መንገዶች ከዚህ በኋላ በአንድ አቅጣጫ ብቻ አገልግሎት ይሰጣሉ " - የአዲስ አበባ ትራፊክ ማኔጅመንት ባለስልጣን

ከዚህ በኋላ 4 ኪሎ ቤተመንግስት ዙሪያ ያሉ መንገዶች በአንድ አቅጣጫ ብቻ አገልግሎት እንደሚሰጡ የአዲስ አበባ ትራፊክ ማኔጅመንት ባለስልጣን ለቲክቫህ ኢትዮጵያ አስታውቋል።

በመሆኑም ፦
- ከጥይት ቤት  እስከ ፓርላማ ትራፊክ መብራት፣
- ከቤተመንግስት ፖርክንግ እስከ ጥይት ቤት
- ከፓርላማ ትራፊክ መብራት እስከ ሳይንስ ሙዝየም ድረስ ያሉ መንገዶች ቀድሞ ከነበረው ባለሁለት አቅጣጫ መንገድ ወደ አንድ አቅጣጫ መንገድ ተቀይረዋል።

ቲክቫህ ኢትዮጵያ የአዲስ አበባ ትራፊክ ማኔጅመንት ባለስልጣን ዋና ዳይሬክተር አቶ ክበበው ሚደቅሳን መስመሮቹ እንደ ቀድሞው ባለ ሁለት አቅጣጫ ሆነው አገልግሎት መስጠታቸውን መቼ ይጀምራሉ ? ሲል ጠይቋል።

በምላሻቸው በአንድ አቅጣጫ እንጂ ወደበፊቱ ተመልሶ በሁለት አቅጣጫ አገልግሎት እንደማይሰጡ ገልጸዋል።

ዋና ዳይሬክተሩ አስቀድመው " ለሁለት ቀን ወደ አንድ አቅጣጫ (One way) ተደርገው አገልግሎት ይሰጣሉ " በሚል ለቲክቫህ  ኢትዮጵያ ገልጸው ነበር።

ሆኖም  " ለሁለት ቀን ያልኩት በአንድ አቅጣጫ አገልግሎት እንዲሰጥ ለማድረግ የሚሰሩ ስራዎች እና የጎደሉትን የማሟላት ስራ ለመስራት ነው " ሲሉ መንገዶቹ በቀጣይነትም ባለ አንድ አቅጣጫ መንገድ ሆነው እንደሚቀጥሉ አስረድተዋል።

አክለውም " የትራፊክ ስራ ዳይናሚክ ነው፣ እንደ የአስፈላጊነቱ  በየጊዜው የማሻሻል ስራዎች ሊኖሩ ይችላሉ " በማለት ጠቁመዋል።

ከዚህ በኃላ ግን መንገዶቹ ባለ አንድ አቅጣጫ ብቻ እንደሆኑ አስገንዝበዋል።
በቀጣይ ዓመታት ከብሔራዊ ባንክ እንደነዚህ አይነት መግለጫዎች ይጠበቃሉ!

NBE today reported that it successfully allocated $70 million in its fourth foreign exchange auction, meeting 96% of the total forex demand from participating banks.

A total of #26 #commercial_banks secured allocations during the auction, with the weighted average exchange rate settling at Birr 131.4961 per US Dollar, reflecting the continued transition toward a market-reflective exchange mechanism.

The results underscore the central bank’s recent efforts to enhance foreign currency accessibility, restore market confidence, and stabilize the exchange rate by aligning demand and supply through bi-weekly auctions.

This high satisfaction rate signals growing liquidity and may ease pressure on parallel markets, while offering relief to importers and exporters navigating a rapidly evolving forex environment.
