This infographic, based on Global Findex 2025 data, illustrates Ethiopia’s progress in advancing financial inclusion. Account ownership has increased significantly from 34.8% in 2017 to 48.8% in 2024, reflecting growing access to formal financial services. Digital payments have also shown steady improvement, reaching 20.7% of adults. However, mobile money account ownership remains comparatively low at 9.5%, suggesting that digital finance has yet to reach its full potential. These trends underscore both the progress achieved and the continued need for targeted efforts to deepen inclusion across underserved populations.
