Senior Technical Advisor on African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Implementation Committees, Dr. Fareed Arthur, says the AfCFTA is the result of decades of Pan-African economic vision aimed at strengthening continental integration and reducing dependency on external support.
Speaking at the Citi Business Festival 2026 Roundtable Discussion, on the theme โUnlocking Africa's Single Market: How Can Ghanaian Businesses Win Under AfCFTA?โ, he explained that the idea of a unified African trade system dates back to the early independence era and the formation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) in 1963.
He added that global financial disruptions, including crises in the United States, helped reignite Africa's push toward stronger internal economic systems and increased intra-African trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
