Ethiopia’s Minister of Finance, Ahmed Shide has been named African Finance Minister of the Year by the African Leadership Magazine.
Ahmed received the award on Wednesday during a virtual ceremony at the 5th US – Africa Investment Forum and Policy Dialogue 2020.
He was named a winner last month by the African Leadership Magazine after the editorial board of the magazine unveiled a total of 17 winners in 17 categories.
The award recognizes Ahmed’s “outstanding achievements in Africa’s business landscape and contributions to Africa’s economic development and post-COVID-19 recovery”.
Ahmed’s award was predicated on his effort to drive the economic reform agenda of the government, lead the home-grown economic reform agenda, mobilize large resources for development, improve debt management and debt stock of the country as well as promote regional economic cooperation in the horn of Africa.
