@alemayehuGeda Definitely so & exciting projects are in the pipeline. By the way we should also remember that the commonly cited ‘16% -18%’ figure excludes Africa’s sizeable informal trade.

Ghana🇬🇭 has fully settled a $700 million Eurobond ahead of schedule, marking progress in its economic recovery.

This payment is part of Ghana's Eurobond Debt Exchange Programme, totaling $2.1 billion in repayments since January 2025.

The transaction was financed without depleting foreign exchange reserves.

Economic indicators in Ghana🇬🇭 have recently improved, including stable inflation, a strengthening cedi, and the first profit in years by the state-owned Tema Oil Refinery.

The same philosophy is making China indispensable in the high-tech industry.

@Officially_Kriz Now is the time for the private actors to make it work by taking their cases to the dispute settlement body (DSB). It is in anticipation of implementation issues that the dsb was established.

Today in Addis Ababa, the #AfCFTA Secretariat signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the European Union on the margins of the EU–Ethiopia Business Forum, reinforcing their partnership to support the implementation of the AfCFTA.
In his opening remarks at the Forum, @MeneWamkele, Secretary-General of the AfCFTA Secretariat, underscored that the #AfCFTA is advancing a predictable, rules-based continental market, strengthening Africa’s position as a competitive investment destination.
The MoU, signed by the Secretary-General and EU Commissioner Jozef Síkela, reflects a maturing Africa–EU partnership, with a growing focus on trade and investment cooperation anchored in mutual interests and shared commitment.

Take some lessons from Chinese #CSCEC. Ethiopia can create a whole construction ecosystem & target Africa's market through #AfCFTA.

President Mahama has announced that, effective 25th May 2026, during the commemoration of Africa Day, Ghana will commence a free visa regime for all Africans. Africans travelling to Ghana will receive their e-visas online, free of charge.

Speaking during bilateral talks with the President of Zimbabwe, he assured the public that adequate systems have been put in place to screen prospective visitors and to ensure that the security of Ghana is not compromised.

He said as a cradle of pan-Africanism, Ghana believes it has a historic responsibility to remain open to Africans from across the continent.

The PAPSS team, led by Deputy CEO Bosco Sebabi, held a highly productive meeting with the Governor of the National Bank of Ethiopia, H.E. Dr. Eyob Tekalign Tolina(PhD), accompanied by the Deputy Governor and the Director of Payments.

This constructive engagement marks another significant step toward deepening collaboration with Ethiopia, as PAPSS continues to champion harmonized, secure, and efficient payment systems across the continent.

Together, we are building the future of Africa’s financial integration.

The #AfCFTA is redefining how Africa approaches #investment. Its Investment Protocol balances the right to regulate with commitments to sustainability and development.
Dr Rob Davies explains why this innovative framework matters for Africa’s regional development and for shaping a new form of multilateralism.
Listen to the full conversation on the #AfCFTAPodcast, coming this Friday.

[AfCFTA Secretariat Official @AfCFTA]

In the latest #AfCFTAPodcast, Dr Rob Davies, former Minister of Trade and industry of South Africa, explains how leveraging a single African market of a combined GDP of over USD 3 trillion creates far greater scope for broad-based industrial growth, shared value creation, and economic inclusion than isolated country-level approaches, even for the continent’s largest economies.
Stay tuned for the new episode coming this Friday.
