The Role of Intra-African Trade

Trade between African countries contributes to political stability, peace, and security. Intra-African trade has the potential to significantly close Africa's economic disparity with the rest of the world. Nonetheless, this potential is not uniform across the continent.

  • Regulatory Challenges create barriers to market entry.
  • Political Instability affects trade trust and partnerships.

By focusing on the most affected nations and addressing these challenges, Africa can work towards a more integrated and prosperous trading environment.
