The Ethiopian Customs Commission has collected 600.23 billion Br in revenue over the past ten months, slightly exceeding its target of 598.8 billion Br and achieving 100.22pc performance. Commissioner Debele Kabeta (PhD) said the result reflects a 75.3pc year-on-year increase, equivalent to an additional 258 billion Br compared to the same period last year. He attributed the growth to ongoing macroeconomic reforms and strengthened tax compliance measures. The Commission also reported intercepting contraband goods worth 23.1 billion Br, preventing losses linked to illegal trade. Officials said the performance reflects improved revenue collection and a stronger contribution to national income.
