Following a meeting held on 27 January 2014, Ethiopia has expressed its intentions to negotiate and sign a Double Tax Treaty (DTA) with Canada. In recent years Ethiopia has been one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. The country is one of the main exporters of coffee and sesame and there are an increasing number of investment opportunities for enterprises to do business in Ethiopia. A new tax treaty with Canada would potentially increase the attractiveness of Ethiopia as a destination for business.
