Strengthening Africa’s leadership, enhancing the regional and continental integration process, accelerating investment in its frontier markets and scaling up investment in education, health, agriculture, infrastructure and innovation will be essential in transforming Africa’s growth story into shared opportunities for present and future generations. Currently, Africa’s trade performance remains weak in comparison with other world regions. Intraregional trade i.e. trade within and between Regional Economic Communities (RECs) – accounts for about 12 per cent of Africa’s total trade, a much lower proportion than in other world regions. Therefore, integrating Africa’s fragmented markets could help attract the
required investments from both Africa and the rest of the world, in particular those motivated by
economies of scale, to build competitive and more diversified economies. The deliberations, recommendations and guidance of the Joint Conference of Ministers on this report will go a long way in helping to enhance the current momentum towards advancing the regional and continental integration process in Africa in general, as well as efforts towards boosting intra-African trade and establishing the Continental Free Trade Area.
