Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program Now Available in Ethiopia

Ethiopia has officially launched the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program, a globally respected certification in investment management and financial analysis. This marks a significant milestone for Ethiopia’s capital market, offering local finance professionals and students access to world-class credentials.

The Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA) announced the launch during a high-profile event in Addis Ababa. The Authority also shared the news on its official X (formerly Twitter) page, highlighting the move as a landmark initiative for Ethiopia’s growing capital market.

“This initiative opens doors for local finance professionals to access globally respected credentials and helps align Ethiopia's financial services with international best practices,” ECMA stated.

The introduction of the CFA Program aligns with Ethiopia’s broader efforts to develop a strong financial ecosystem and attract foreign direct investment (FDI). As the country’s capital market evolves, the CFA Program is expected to enhance local financial expertise, improve transparency, and raise professional standards.

For the first time, finance students and professionals in Ethiopia can enroll in the CFA Program and sit for exams locally, reducing cost and accessibility barriers that previously limited participation.

The initiative has received strong support from key financial stakeholders, who view it as a strategic step toward strengthening Ethiopia’s investment landscape and building trust in financial institutions.
