Africa’s resilience depends on stronger regional markets and greater capacity to produce locally.

Writing in @prosyn, Dr. Yemi Kale @sgyemikale, Group Chief Economist and Managing Director of Afreximbank Research @AfreximResearch and Trade Intelligence @AfreximTrin at Afreximbank, argues for faster AfCFTA implementation, investment in manufacturing and improved access to finance to reduce Africa’s exposure to global shocks.

To secure its future, Africa must build a stronger, more integrated continental market, writes @sgyemikale (@Afreximbank)—and that begins with the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area. https://t.co/Vh7mUzds6s

As long as African firms can't secure sufficient trade financing, their ability to seize trade and industrial opportunities will be limited, warns @sgyemikale. That's why @Afreximbank is working to double its intra-African trade-finance portfolio. https://t.co/Vh7mUzds6s
