Africa’s most ambitious project, the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) is nearing its commercial phase. Delayed, but not thwarted by the Covid-19 pandemic, an enormous joint effort between the African Union (AU), the AfCFTA Secretariat and deal signatories is underway in a final push to realise continental free trade at the start of 2021. This webinar examines the new challenges the coronavirus presents for Africa’s integration and how they need to be overcome, as well as the opportunities that may arise from broader global developments currently at play.
Join Ronak Gopaldas when he presents his new paper on those vital questions. Tshepidi Moremong from Rand Merchant Bank will be respondent. The discussion is moderated by Marius Oosthuizen from the Gordon Institute of Business Science.
