Ethiopia has imposed restrictions on the initial public offering (IPO) of Dangote Petroleum and Petrochemicals securities, limiting access to qualified investors and barring the general public from participating in the share sale. The Ethiopian Capital Market Authority (ECMA) issued a public notice on October 13, 2026, warning that any marketing or selling of the securities outside the permitted investor framework could result in regulatory action.
The restriction aims to ensure that only eligible investors, defined under specific capital market laws, can participate in the offering, which is aimed at raising billions of dollars to finance expansion plans and broaden ownership of the Nigerian refinery.
