After the meeting it was announced that the United Arab Emirates would deposit $1 billion (Dh3.7bn) in Ethiopia’s central bank to ease foreign currency shortages in the Horn of Africa nation.

“$1 billion will be deposited in the National Bank (of Ethiopia) in a few days time to tackle the foreign currency shortage,” Ahmed Shide, head of Ethiopia’s Government Communications Affairs Office, told Reuters.
