Despite e-tax filing & payment being mandatory in #Rwanda, new surveys show that almost 1/4 of corporate income taxpayers and 1/2 personal income taxpayers are still using semi-manual practices. Why is this? New blog by @Santoro_Fab & @KelbesaMegersa 👇 buff.ly/3pRNgBq

I just attended @SPGlobalRatings #SSA webinar. As long as there is no clarity on #Ethiopia’s #debt_restructuring, the "B-" #rating remains on “Creditwatch Negative”. Noteworthy, S&P’s #growth projection for 2022 of 5.1% is way below what @IMFnews estimated in February (8.7%).
