Deloitte has officially reopened its office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after a six-year absence, marking a significant step in the firm’s renewed focus on the Ethiopian market. The move underscores Deloitte’s commitment to supporting Ethiopia’s development agenda and capitalizing on the opportunities the country offers.

Anne Muraya, CEO of Deloitte East Africa, expressed enthusiasm about the reopening, noting that the firm’s presence in Ethiopia is a reflection of its belief in the country’s potential. “In opening our new office, we are not only expanding our footprint but also embracing the spirit and potential that Ethiopia embodies,” Muraya said. “Our presence here represents our commitment to Ethiopia and signifies our belief in the opportunities that lie ahead.”

Muraya extended her gratitude to those who played a role in making the reopening possible. “To our clients, thank you for your trust and continued partnership. To our staff, your hard work and dedication have been the driving force behind our achievements. You worked tirelessly over the last two years to make this a reality. To the government and people of Ethiopia, we are grateful for your warm welcome and support,” she added.

The CEO also shared a personal connection to Ethiopia, reflecting on her first visit to Addis Ababa at the age of 13. “Addis holds a special place in my heart, and for me, this is also personal,” she said. “To say that I am excited about our new office is quite an understatement. This is a momentous occasion, and we are thrilled to be part of Ethiopia’s incredible growth journey.”

Deloitte’s reopened office aims to leverage the firm’s global expertise to support local businesses, government initiatives, and development projects across a range of sectors, contributing to Ethiopia’s continued growth and modernization.
