MFIs specific and macroeconomic variables were analyzed by using the balanced panel random effect regression model. MFIs liquidity is measured in two ratios: liquid asset to deposit and liquid asset to total asset. The findings of the study revealed that, FDI has negative and statistically significant impact on liquidity; while GD, profitability and inflation have positive and statistically significant impact on liquidity of Ethiopian microfinance institutions.
