The New African Trade Agreement-What does it mean to you?
As an African Proffesional, worker or Entrepreneur, What does the New African Trade agreement mean to you now and in the Long term?
Are we ready to tackle the opportunities it presents?
Do we have or are we planning to have strategy sessions to address how we can leverage it to make inroads into the African ICT, Banking and Infrastructure Industries in our respective businesses?
What knowledge and Lessons can we leverage from Trade agreements else where in the world?
These are some of the many questions that we believe many business savvy Africans and Indeed people of other nations are asking themselves, The challenge however is to monitise the answers to these questions and create economic activity around these ideas if we are to truly take advantage of the this and other opportunities that exist.
Perhaps a more critical question for readers is: Have you thought about what difference this New Trade Agreement will make to your life as a professional African? and How do you suggest the signatory nations may take advantage of this new opportunitity? Considering that Legislation may be a potential stumbling block, are there opportunities for those in Foreign Relations and Legal Industries to help ease this burden and allow member nations to take full advantage of it? What other roles can African professionals play around the actual realisation of free trade?
Please feel free to engage us and share your views around the questions we have posed and others that you may have thought of around the New Free Trade agreement? Will it work? will it not work? Can
it be implementated successfully? How long will it take for Africa to realise the fruits of this agreement? And laslty, How much more work needs to be done to ensure that when a working framework is first implemeted, it runs smoothely?
