The number also indicated, that there were almost no revenues from previous years to balance the debt. In July 2016, the ERC had to start to pay interest – and at the beginning of 2017, the external ERC debt started to rise, indicating, that all loans had been used up and that for the first time own Ethiopian money (in US $ ) from external revenues had to be used for the ongoing construction works of the railways. The debt level of the ERC arrived at 120 billion Birr (US$ 5.2b) in June 2017 and at ~7.5% of Ethiopia's 2016

Moreover, the IMF asked to reduce the recent pace of increase in external indebtedness, which were considered to be not sustainable over the medium term. A "high" risk was assigned to that part. The IMF asked for intensified efforts to reduce the external imbalance, and to increase and to diversify exports which would yield the highest economic growth dividend over the medium term.
