Two other less important and less immediate metrics. The “exception” easily outweigh them both.
- yorwba 7y agoI spent some time browsing the World Bank's data portal and found another metric that shows similar exceptional growth: number of pupils in primary education https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SE.PRM.ENRL?locations=ET https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SE.PRM.ENRL?locations=E... That one takes off in 1993, about a decade before GDP exploded. Maybe the secret to Ethiopia's growth is just that the population became educated enough to do something useful with the money invested by foreign entities?
