Welcome to Addis Fortune’s weekly digest where we look into last week’s moving stories. From real estate disputes at Ayat Mall to the struggles of steel manufacturers facing cost pressures and import competition, we assess the strain facing the sectors. However, there are also signs of growth and investment, with Dangote Group expanding its operations and diversifying into new sectors. The government is also taking action, tightening environmental regulations with stricter penalties for violations. Finally, we examine the banking sector, where Enat Bank's expansion efforts are being challenged by rising costs and regulatory pressures.
