According to the Ministry of Transportation and Logistics, the process of converting the fuel trading system into a fully electronic payment system has started.
Customers who do not yet have an electronic shopping app will be ready soon, the ministry claims, as 1,400vehicles will be added to the Telebr system.
According to Transport and Logistics Minister Alemu Sime, electronic payments will modernize the marketing system and control the fuel subsidy to prevent economic pressure .
Gebremeskel Chala, minister of Trade and Regional Integration, claimed that fuel subsidies cost 7.3 billion birr and that efforts are being made to end them.
