Foreign direct investment net inflows : Foreign direct investment net inflows was $545.1 million in 2004 in Ethiopia. We could calculate the whole net inflows was: 545.1+1823.1+46 = 2414.2 ($,m),the gross national income was 110*77.4 = 8514 ($,m) , so the former figure takes up 2414.2 / 8514 = 0.28355 ,around one third of the gross national income. That is to say, the gross national income depended too much on the net flow other than the second or the third industry, which is vulnerable and unsustainable.
