Intra-African trade is gaining ground.
According to the WTO, intra-African trade climbed by 1% in the first half of 2024, demonstrating the steady progress of regional integration across the continent.
While 1% may sound modest, it reflects something far greaterโa growing momentum towards trade liberalisation, regional collaboration, and economic resilience.
I see this trend as more than just a statistic. It represents new opportunities for businesses ready to position themselves at the heart of Africaโs economic transformation. For companies navigating this evolving landscape, the right wealth structuring and corporate set-up can make all the difference in capturing value across borders.
