INTRA-AFRICA TRADE – A Growing Opportunity

October 30, 2024

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 greater—a 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 Africa’s 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.

Positioned strategically, Mauritius offers businesses an ideal gateway for navigating this new trade landscape. With a favourable tax regime and strong financial services, it supports companies targeting African expansion.
