AfCFTA a milestone in Africa’s journey towards prosperity, says Morocco’s Finance Minister

Abstract

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a major milestone that will no doubt lead to a prosperous integrated Africa that is less dependent on outside sources for its well-being. The Minister appealed to countries that are yet to sign-up to the agreement to do so, saying ‘there are no losers, we are all winners’ with the AfCFTA, especially when it becomes fully operational, opening the way to free trade throughout Africa, facilitating member countries’ industrialization and economic diversification and ensuring sustainable, employment generating growth for the whole region.
