Opening Statement by Mrs. Lalla Ben Barka, Deputy Executive Secretary of ECA at the Conference on Economic Trends and Investment Opportunities in Africa. Mr. Barka, on his remarks highlighted that, this conference and its theme “ Economic trends and investment opportunities in Africa ” provide us with an opportunity to reflect closely on some basic messages. One such message, and the one that I have been asked to speak about, concerns the indispensability of trade in promoting development. The development of trade-enhancing infrastructure should remain a priority in governments' spending policies, given their potential to enhance regional and global competitiveness.
