This review paper is emphasized on COVID-19 and macro-economy like GDP, unemployment, inflation and macro-economic policy in Ethiopia. The COVID-19 pandemic represents an unprecedented global crisis. Even if the spread of COVID-19 is suppressed in Africa, its economic damage will be unavoidable. In spite of the fact that COVID-19 was less expanded during the last 3 months, the Ethiopia economy showed a significant shock and drastically reduced in major macroeconomic variables. A 25-30% drop in exports of goods and services during 2020 is possible.COVID-19 will have a two-fold fiscal impact, pulling in opposite directions. Hence, there is a need to re-bounce back the economy while keeping our peoples safe from the pandemic, COVID-19.
本综述论文重点关注埃塞俄比亚的新冠疫情与宏观经济，如国内生产总值、失业率、通货膨胀以及宏观经济政策。新冠疫情是一场前所未有的全球危机。即便非洲地区的新冠疫情传播得到抑制，其造成的经济损害也将不可避免。尽管过去三个月新冠疫情的传播有所减缓，但埃塞俄比亚经济仍遭受了重大冲击，主要宏观经济变量急剧下降。2020年商品和服务出口可能下降25%至30%。新冠疫情将产生双重财政影响，且方向相反。因此，有必要在保障民众免受新冠疫情侵害的同时，使经济实现反弹。
