The African Continental Free Trade Area
March 16, 2021 @ 3:00 am - 4:00 am
A Flagship project of the African Union Agenda 2063, the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) creates a market of 1.3 billion people and a combined GDP of $3.4 trillion. A reported 81% of goods can start being traded under preferential terms while approx. 20% continue to be negotiated with plans to conclude by July 2021.
As African Nations begin to walk the journey towards a zero tariffs zone, what does the road to implementation look like?
Join us for a briefing with the Secretary General of the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat, H.E. Wamkele Mene on:
- Progress and steps for trading under the AfCFTA;
- Priorities & expectations on timelines towards zero tariff trading; and
- Policy/regulatory changes preceding successful implementation of the AfCFTA.
