Lançamento da zona de comércio livre africana
June 7, 2019 -
A Área de Comércio Livre Continental Africana (AfCFTA) poderá ser um dos maiores mercados únicos do mundo, desenvolvendo potencialmente
o crescimento económico de um continente de 55 países.
If all African nations join, the free trade area will cover more than 1.2 billion people and have a combined GDP of $2.5 trillion.
AfCFTA is meant to eliminate 90 percent of tariffs and create a single market with free movement of goods and services. Full implementation will take years.
The operational phase of the free trade area is expected to be formally launched on July 7 at a summit of the African Union in Niger.
