You may be aware that African leaders have come together to create a gigantic marketplace through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). AfCFTA creates a single continent-wide market for goods and services and promotes the movement of capital and people. The World Bank estimates that the “AfCFTA agreement will create the largest free trade area in the world measured by the number of countries participating. The pact connects 1.3 billion people across 55 countries with a combined gross domestic product (GDP) valued at US$3.4 trillion.
This special webinar features His Excellency Mahamadou ISSOUFOU, President of the Republic of Niger, and Leader of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Click here to watch the presentation.

The purpose of this important webinar is to share with the Canadian business community the significance and the magnitude of the business opportunities that will emerge from the AfCFTA and the introduction of the African E-commerce Platform that will enable fast and better communication for business and investment linkages between Canada and the African Continent.
