CNN —Africa is home to the world’s largest free trade agreement, in terms of number of countries, territory, and population – the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
According to the Economic Commision for Africa, African countries continue to trade with the rest of the world more than among themselves.
Aliko Dangote has been talking about the fact that he needs 35 visas to travel across the African continent.
WM: It’s a significant barrier and constraint to intra-Africa trade and intra-Africa investment.
I think we can double intra-Africa trade in the next five years, provided we introduce the tools that are required.
