Ethiopia redenominated and rebranded its currency in 2020, issuing an entirely new series as part of a broader economic reform push under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed — the first major redesign of Ethiopian banknotes in over a decade. The shift was also partly motivated by concerns over large hoards of undeclared cash, a perennial problem in cash-heavy economies where significant economic activity runs outside the banking system. Holders were given a limited window to exchange old notes.
De La Rue's involvement continues a relationship with Ethiopian note production stretching back several decades.
