Abstract

Movements of the Ethiopian Birr against the US dollar, the major currency of trade invoicing, matter more for prices and trade volumes than do movements of the Birr against trading partners’ currencies. US dollar prices and trade volumes change much more for manufacturing firms than for firms in other sectors in the wake of Birr movements against the US Dollar This research was funded under the Private Enterprise Development in Low Income Countries (PEDL) Programme
