The details are not disclosed yet, but it would likely be the repayment of billions of Birr for the banks as part of the 40 billion Br worth of 27pc bonds they bought issued by the central bank. The macroeconomic committee, chaired by Girma Biru, has been busy holding a series of meetings with representatives of the business community and industry leaders, including higher taxpayers, coffee exporters, the horticulture industry and bank executives.
