Ghana has put in place an institutional framework to help maximise gains from the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) which took off on January 1, this year.
It includes the establishment of the AfCFTA inter-ministerial committee, national steering committee, and technical working groups on all the seven clusters for boosting intra-Africa trade.
Additionally, it has also designed AfCFTA National Action Plan and National Export Development Strategy (NEDS) meant to help revitalise the country’s export development efforts with a strong focus on Africa’s over 1.2 billion consumer market.
The Minister designate for Trade and Industry (MoTI), Mr Alan Kyerematen, made this known in a speech read on his behalf by Dr John Asiedu, at an AfCFTA sensitisation seminar in Accra yesterday.
