Ethiopia’s proposed crowdfunding regulatory framework has sparked sharp industry concerns regarding the exclusion of private limited companies (PLCs). Under the current draft, eligible fundraisers are restricted strictly to share companies.
Industry experts have warned that this limitation could lock out a vast majority of startups and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) from accessing capital market crowdfunding within the country.
