The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a free trade area founded in 2018, with trade commencing as of 1 January 2021.It was created by the African Continental Free Trade Agreement among 54 of the 55 African Union nations.This free-trade area is the largest in the world in terms of the number of participating countries since the formation of the World Trade Organization.
Having a single continental market for goods and services, with free movement of business persons and investments through the African Continental Free Trade Area, is a targeted policy that will attract investments to job-rich areas and accelerate the establishment of a conducive environment for enterprise creation and development, as well as harmonized regional integration across the Continent.
