https://lnkd.in/dBw7DPSi Boosting AfCFTA Awareness for African Business Growth African regulators and policymakers must intensify efforts to raise awareness of the operational mechanisms of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). During a recent WTO Public Forum panel session, experts emphasized that many businesses remain unaware of the benefits the AfCFTA offers, with only 40% of respondents familiar with the agreement. Key Takeaways: Launch targeted awareness campaigns to bridge the knowledge gap. Introduce a digital AfCFTA Business-Ready Certification to empower businesses. Promote digital skills and infrastructure to boost cross-border trade. Let’s unlock the full potential of African businesses through AfCFTA! #AfCFTA #TradeGrowth #AfricaBusiness #Paftrac #CrossBorderTrade #WTO

As the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) enters its fifth year, the rules of origin (RoO) for trade in goods are still being finalised, but the institutional architecture is nearly complete with increased capacity, technical committees and new supporting instruments. Despite this progress in #AfCFTA ‘policy supply’, meaningful trade under the AfCFTA is still to begin. For this to happen, there must be ‘policy demand’ from the private sector to use the agreement’s range of protocols in shaping their #investment and trade decisions and relations. Private sector engagement has so far varied across member states, with some demonstrating robust integration of business feedback while others lag in private sector consultation and involvement. 

Imagine tapping into a market of over 1.3 billion people with a combined GDP of $3.4 trillion. AfCFTA, the largest free trade area in the world, offers these incredible possibilities. In this video, we explore the benefits and tax implications of AfCFTA, unveiling opportunities for growth and expansion.
