A high-level trade and investment roadshow aimed at deepening intra-African commerce has taken place in Ghana, bringing together key stakeholders from government, business, and the financial sector.
The event, part of a series of roadshows leading up to the Intra-African Trade Fair 2025 (IATF2025), convened government officials, investors, business leaders, and executives from the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) to explore new trade opportunities and partnerships across the continent.
Slated for September 4–10, 2025, in Algiers, Algeria, the IATF2025 is Africa’s premier trade and investment event, offering a platform to drive the continent’s economic integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Ghana is positioning itself to take full advantage of the AfCFTA by shifting from raw commodity exports to value-added trade.
The country aims to transform its traditional export sectors—such as gold, oil, and cocoa—into diversified industries that deliver greater returns and create jobs.
By accelerating the implementation of the AfCFTA, Ghana seeks to unlock new markets and investment prospects for local businesses, boosting their participation in the African and global economy.
