    When Credit Capping Hits 24% — and Logic Hits Zero

    ByEditorial Team Posted on2025-10-14

    Correction: The 24% Figure Explained — and Why the Problem Remains the Same.
    The much-circulated 24% was not Ethiopia’s lending rate but the annual cap on credit expansion — the ceiling on how much new money banks can lend each year. Yet this technical correction changes little: whether through suffocating interest rates or restrictive credit policy, Ethiopia’s banking system remains trapped in a cycle that starves growth while serving debt.

    Math Meets PP Regime Myth: Prosperity at 18-20% or More Interest Rate

    ByEditorial Team Posted on2025-10-122025-10-12

    This fourth installment in the Math Meets PP Regime Myth series examines Ethiopia’s record-shattering bank interest rate — a feat only the Prosperity Party regime could frame as progress. In the land of sanity, interest rates hover around 1–2%, allowing businesses to borrow, grow, and reinvest. Ethiopia now faces 24% interest rate. For small and medium enterprises operating on 5–10% margins, this is not financing but strangulation. When credit costs more than profit, business shifts from value creation to sheer survival — and the economy itself begins to suffocate.

    Math Meets PP Regime Myth: Inflation That Eats Wages Alive in Ethiopia

    ByEditorial Team Posted on2025-09-012025-09-01

    This is the third episode in our “Math Meets PP Regime Myth” series, following [1] and [2]. The PP regime claims Ethiopia’s inflation will ease to around 10%, but ground realities tell a different story. Food staples, rent, utilities, and transport have soared by 100% or more, with wages frozen for decades. For ordinary households, real inflation isn’t 10% — it’s in triple digits, perhaps over 500%. Official figures don’t comfort the poor; they insult them with Orwellian doublespeak.

    Math Meets PP Myth: 30 Million Tree PlantersPP's Logic That Got Lost in the Forest

    ByEditorial Team Posted on2025-08-142025-08-10

    The PP regime proclaimed that 30 million Ethiopians planted trees in a single day — one sunrise, one countrywide mobilisation. Our math says this is less forestry and more fantasy. After filtering out children, retirees, and the unemployed, the “pool” shrinks — then reality slashes it further: logistics, transport, tools, water, supervision. In the debut of Math Meets PP Myth, we run a one-sunrise sanity check and strip the leaves off the claim until only the bare arithmetic — and the absurdity — remain.

    ByEditorial Team Posted on2025-08-112025-08-10

    Math Meets PP Myth is where Ethiopia’s wildest statistics finally get their day in court. From GDP growth rates that vanish on contact with reality to tree-planting claims that could reforest the moon, this recurring exposé pulls apart the propaganda, crunches the numbers, and exposes the fiction. The PP regime’s math isn’t sloppy — it’s engineered. And we’re here to make the abacus honest. Got a myth? Send it in. Let’s count truth back into the equation.
