The Ministry of Revenue announced that it has collected over 451 billion Birr in revenue over the past six months.
The Ministry is currently conducting a six-month performance review in Bishoftu town.
At the forum, Minister Dr. Ayinalem Niguse stated that the institution's journey towards achieving a trillion Birr in revenue in the current budget year through the "Tax for National Pride" campaign is proving successful.
