Itoophiyaatti

Itoophiyaan waan ergitu caalaa baay'ee galchiti; garaagarummaan kun maallaqa biyya alaa irraa ergamu, gargaarsa fi liqiidhaan guutama. Kuusaan sharafa alaa ji'oota al-galchii meeqa kaffaluu akka danda'uun lakkaa'ama.

Ethiopia imports far more than it exports, and the gap is paid for with remittances, aid and borrowing. Reserves are counted in how many months of imports they would pay for.
