is ’s most expensive country to live in – Report

Ethiopia has been ranked 53rd in the world with cost of living index, becoming Africa’s most expensive country to live in.

The world’s largest cost of living database in its latest report said people in Ethiopia now spend more money on basic things like food, transportation, and dining compared to other African countries.

The report titled “Cost of Living Index by Country 2025” shows that Ethiopia is ranked 53rd in the world with cost of living index 46.5, higher than any other African country listed.

The high cost of groceries is one of the main reasons for Ethiopia’s top ranking. This shows that it is becoming harder for people to afford their weekly shopping, especially for families living on fixed or low incomes.

Iraanii fi Ethiopia

Maaltu wolitti fide akka jechuuf jarjarte nan tilmaama. Iraan biyya woggoota afurtamman darbaniif qoqqobbii akaakuu fi sadarkaa adda addaa jala turteedha. Hardhas, qoqqobbii san dandamattee worra lixaa fi Israa’eel wajji wol gaarreffatti. Qoqqobbii akka Iraan irra kaayamee san Ethiopian yeroo hagamiif dandamatti kan jedhu haa laallumaaf, lamaan wol biratti yaame.

Dura dubbiin dollar-a irraa kaati. Dollari ammoo maalaqa gabaan addunyaa ittiin adeemsifamu. Itoophiyaan baankii biyyoolessaa keessaa kuusaa dollaraa kan biyyattii ji’a sadi caalaa hin horanne qabdi. Dollar qabdu sanniiniin otoo dhokfattee mi’a isiif ta’u bitattee ji’a lamaa hanga sadihi ni turti.

San booda hoo, maaltu ta’a:
Boba’aan biyya kanatti fayyadamnu hundi alaa gala. Dollari boba’aa ittiin fidannu ammoo ji’a lama sadi keessatti ni dhume, hin jiru. Qoqqobbii waan ta’eef boba’aa sanuu biyya sitti gurguratu hin argatu. Argattus dollarri ittiin gabaa baatee bitattu si harka hin jiru. Kanaaf, yeroo ji’a sadi hin guunne keessatti konkolaataan jidduu biyyaa jiru boba’aa dhabee dhaabbata. Kan naannoo daanga jiru highland’n illee taatu biyya ollaa irra ima woraabata jechumaafi.

Geejjibni motoraa hin jiru. Gullallee hanga Boolee—yoo qabaattee konkolaataa elektrikitiin, yoo dhabde ammoo lafoo—itti qajeelta. Kan amma oluma kaatee daqiiqaa 40 keessatti Kofalee Shaashamannee geettu, farda barbaadde sa’aa afurii shanitti geetta.

Biyya doktarri daabboo itti gaafatu tanatti—biyya wabii nyaataa mirkaneessuu hin dandeenne tanatti—ji’a lama booda gatiin nyaataa samii tuqa. Yoma tuqeyyuu—humna waa bituu birriitu gatii dhaba malee—wonti haala gahaan hin oomishamne eessaa siif dhufa? Alaa dhufa. Alli ammoo sitti cufate. Kanaaf, maal taataree, ji’a sadi booda beela bara 1977 tuffachiisutu mudatuu danda’a.

Itiyoophiyaan qoricha %65 ol ta’u alaa fiddi—gabaasa dhihooti kun. Woggaa lama dura %80 ol ture. Dhukkubsattee qoricha sirnyaa argachuun sitti cima. Gosti qoricha ati hin argannees laakkofsa hin qabu.

Dubbiin baay’ateef harretti hin fe’anii. Haa gabaabsuu. Xaa’oon akka biyyatti oomishtu hin jiru, kanaaf bu’aan qonnaa kees gadbu’ee rakkoo wabii nyaataa mirkaneessuu san sitti cimsa. Fira alaa qaba, waan inni naaf erguun bibbitadha, yoo jette sirni daddabarsa maallaqaa gama baankiin godhamus qoqqobbii keessa jira; akki itti siif erganiin hin jiru. Kanaaf, Kenya ykn Djibouti deemtee yoo achitti sooramte malee, asitti gara baankiin wanti si dhaqqabu wohiituu hin jiru.
..kana laakkayee itti hin ba’uu. Mee waa’ee Iraanii qoqqobbii akkanaa dandamattee misaa’elaa fi diroonii tolchitu tuffachuu itti deebinaa... dura mee xaa’oo oomishinee, qonna hammayyeessinee nyaataan of haa dandeennu. Uffata Chaayinaa fi Turkii uffanne zannaxnuun kana asitti tolfachuuf haa carraaqnu. Ogummaa fayyaatiif kabaja maluuf kenninee tajaajila fayyaa fi oomisha meshaalee waldhaansaa fi qorichootaan sadarkaa fagoo amma jirru irraa haa fooyyeffannuu. Kun hundi barnootaa fi leenjii gahaa malee ta’uu waan hin dandeenneef— barachuu fi barnoota hardha tuffatame kana deebisnee lubbuu itti haa horru..! Fagoo jirraa haa tirannu! Galatoomaa!

"A nation does not rise by grinding its small businesses to dust. It rises by treating them as partners, not just payers. It rises when it makes room for redemption, for recovery, for those who choose to build clean, even when it costs them. "

𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗡 𝗦𝗔𝗛𝗟𝗘: The Ethiopian Revenue and Customs Authority (ERCA) has a clear mandate: collect taxes, uphold the law. But when tax enforcement becomes so rigid that it cripples legitimate businesses, it undermines its own purpose. This kind of tax enforcement does not just hurt entrepreneurs, it hurts everyone. The state loses income. Workers lose livelihoods. Honest businesses lose faith.

Minimum wage law enforcement necessary at least to combat problem to some extent.

𝗔𝗛𝗠𝗘𝗗 𝗧. 𝗔𝗕𝗗𝗨𝗟𝗞𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗥: What constitutes the basics of survival? Is it fair to push the envelope to include balanced diets or adequate shelter? Minimum wage debates reflect societal values about worker decency. Amidst soaring youth unemployment and stiff job competition, these discussions take on added urgency, as purchasing power continues to plummet to levels that merely ensure worker subsistence.

The perplexity related to minimum wage law and dire condition of workers in our country. Worth reading!

"If soap and toothpaste push the wage above an employer’s comfort zone, are clean fingernails a luxury? Comparisons help illuminate the choices. American minimum wage formulas count meat consumption, which averages more than 100Kg a year. In Ethiopia, where beef is reserved for holidays, a wage floor that assumes regular animal protein would look extravagant. "

𝗔𝗛𝗠𝗘𝗗 𝗧. 𝗔𝗕𝗗𝗨𝗟𝗞𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗥: The sewing machines at Hawassa Industrial Park tell a silent story of an unfulfilled promise of a national minimum wage that remains elusive for millions of workers. Six years after labour law mandated a Wage Board, the floor to protect these low-income workers is still out of reach. Young women, stitching shirts destined for overseas markets, earn 1,500 Br monthly, an amount not even equal to the retail price tags their handiwork commands abroad. It's an enduring imbalance where pay is not pegged to productivity but rather to the bare minimum needed to keep the workforce showing up at the factory gates.
