Ethiopia: Discount Dilemma

ANALYSIS On the morning of Wednesday, September 4, 2013, Muluneh Jira, 39, was busy arranging his rented three-by-three boutique, around Hayahulet Mazoria, a few metres away from theGolagulTower. Muluneh came to this area from Merkato, a year ago, to operate as a clothes wholesaler. Since he moved, his business has been going great.

"We paid a premium of course and that was a deliberate decision ...
