ECA partners with OECD and Afrexim bank to help Egypt in its product transformation policy review tobenefit from the AfCFTA

Abstract

Egypt launched a Product Transformation Policy Review (PTPR) which aims to help position the country to fully benefit from the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The PTPR is the product of a 21-month policy support process requested by the Egyptian government and implemented by the Development Centre of the OECD in collaboration with the ECA, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Afreximbank also contributed to the process. With the theme: “Embracing Change, Achieving Prosperity,” the PTPR is to understand how to capture the benefits of the AfCFTA for transforming the economy of the country.
