Congratulations to the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia on Gazetting Its AfCFTA Provisional Schedule of Tariff Concessions (PSTCs)!
What does it mean to gazette or domesticate a trade commitment? It is an official announcement that enhances transparency, ensuring that businesses, organisations, and citizens are informed of new regulations coming into force. This marks a key step towards the full implementation of the AfCFTA Agreement.
For traders, this provides clarity and certainty, confirming that Ethiopia will grant preferential tariff treatment to eligible goods upon importation, in line with its commitments under the AfCFTA Agreement.

Delivering a keynote speech at the #FID4 event in Seville on “Leveraging Private Business & Finance,” AU Commission Chairperson H.E. @ymahmoudali called for urgent reforms to the global financial system to unlock Africa’s full potential. He emphasised that private business & finance are not merely complementary, but catalytic for inclusive growth, job creation, and the green transition.
He noted the African Continental Free Trade Area (@AfCFTA) as a game-changer for the continent and urged greater support for MSMEs, sustainable finance, & foreign direct investment.
“Africa is young, resource-rich, and ready,” he concluded. “Let’s align capital with our development priorities and build a 21st-century financial architecture that works for all.”
