  1. Chair

    Let's move on to the next item on the agenda: the proposal to open a branch in Hawassa.

    ወደ ቀጣዩ የአጀንዳ ነጥብ እንሂድ፦ በሀዋሳ ቅርንጫፍ የመክፈት ሐሳብ።

  2. Dawit

    Thank you. Our analysis suggests that demand in the region has grown considerably over the past two years.

    አመሰግናለሁ። ትንተናችን እንደሚያሳየው ባለፉት ሁለት ዓመታት በክልሉ ያለው ፍላጎት በከፍተኛ ሁኔታ አድጓል።

  3. Chair

    That's encouraging. What would the initial investment be?

    ይህ አበረታች ነው። የመጀመሪያው ኢንቨስትመንት ምን ያህል ይሆናል?

  4. Dawit

    Roughly four million birr, and we'd expect to break even within eighteen months.

    በግምት አራት ሚሊዮን ብር ሲሆን በአስራ ስምንት ወራት ውስጥ ወጪያችንን እንመልሳለን ብለን እንጠብቃለን።

  5. Chair

    I'm not entirely convinced by that timeline. What assumptions is it based on?

    በዚያ የጊዜ ሰሌዳ ሙሉ በሙሉ አላመንኩም። በምን ግምቶች ላይ የተመሠረተ ነው?

  6. Dawit

    Fair point. It assumes we can recruit experienced staff locally, which may take longer than planned.

    ትክክለኛ ነጥብ ነው። ልምድ ያላቸውን ሠራተኞች በአካባቢው መቅጠር እንደምንችል ይገምታል፤ ይህ ደግሞ ከታቀደው በላይ ጊዜ ሊወስድ ይችላል።

  7. Chair

    In that case, I'd suggest we build in a contingency of at least six months.

    እንደዚያ ከሆነ ቢያንስ የስድስት ወር መጠባበቂያ ጊዜ እንድናካትት ሐሳብ አቀርባለሁ።

  8. Dawit

    That seems sensible. I'll revise the projections accordingly.

    ምክንያታዊ ይመስላል። ትንበያዎቹን በዚሁ መሠረት አሻሽላለሁ።

  9. Chair

    Good. Could you circulate the revised figures before our next meeting?

    ጥሩ። የተሻሻሉትን አኃዞች ከሚቀጥለው ስብሰባችን በፊት ለሁሉም ሊያሰራጩ ይችላሉ?

  10. Dawit

    Certainly. I'll have them ready by the end of next week.

    በእርግጥ። እስከሚቀጥለው ሳምንት መጨረሻ ዝግጁ አደርጋቸዋለሁ።

  11. Chair

    Excellent. Then let's put it to a vote at the next meeting.

    በጣም ጥሩ። እንግዲያውስ በሚቀጥለው ስብሰባ ድምፅ እንስጥበት።
