Driving Economic Growth in Africa and Building a Continental Market:
Opportunities & Challenges of the AfCFTA

The AfCFTA, the world’s largest free trade area, aims to form a single continent-wide market for goods and services, fostering more trade and investment.

Join us on Wednesday 15th September 2021, as we discuss the creation of the vast AfCFTA regional market and its opportunities to boost inter-African trade, attract foreign direct investment, and accelerate growth. 

Through the collaboration of 4 French Chambers in Africa and with the support our partner LEX Africa, a leading regional law firm network, this event will deliver the expertise of 16 high-level speakers across 4 panels to provide you with the relevant knowledge and insight into this strategic agreement.
