IMF Deputy Managing Director Kato Visits Ethiopia and Discusses Global Economic Challenges with the African Union
 "The IMF is committed more than ever to assist governments in the best possible way to adjust to the crisis and get back on track to achieve ambitious development goals. Ethiopia is a very good example of Fund engagement in Africa to deal with those challenges. The country was adversely affected by last year's sharp increase in international commodity prices.
