The Deputy Minister for Commerce & Trade Services at the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Wilmot A. Reeves, says the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) represents one of the most transformative economic initiatives undertaken on the African continent since the birth of the African Union.
Deputy Minister Reeves added that AfCFTA presents a historic opportunity to deepen intra-African trade, promote industrialization, facilitate investment flows, create jobs, and strengthen Africa’s position within the global economy.
Deputizing for Commerce & Industry Minister Magdalene E.Dagoseh, he said Liberia does not only see AfCFTA as a mere trade agreement, but a strategic instrument for economic diversification, private sector development, value addition, innovation, and inclusive growth.
