The International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded its visit to Ethiopia to discuss a request for the global lender's support on Tuesday without reaching an agreement, leaving the country short of a commitment it made with its official international creditors.

"The team made substantial progress towards establishing how the IMF could support the authorities' economic programme," and discussions will continue later this month in Washington, the IMF said.
