Event Details
Africa’s vast and diverse economic landscape is characterized by significant potential for growth in trade and investment. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has created the framework for unprecedented intra-continental trade, which could increase Africa’s trade volume by up to 50% by 2030. However, achieving this potential requires addressing critical challenges in cross-border payments, regulatory fragmentation, and barriers to trade and investment. These barriers hinder the seamless movement of goods, services, and capital across Africa’s 54 countries, stifling growth and reducing the continent’s competitiveness in global markets.
Key challenges include:
- High transaction costs and delays in cross-border payments.
- Lack of harmonized regulatory frameworks across countries.
- Limited access to trade and investment opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
- Prevalence of informal trade activities due to limited financial inclusion.
