Trading within the framework of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has gained momentum, as 48 countries have deposited their instruments of AfCFTA ratification, Secretary-General of the AfCFTA Secretariat Wamkele Mene has said.
Mene said trade among 19 African countries under the AfCFTA rules is well underway. "We have made progress on key issues, including on tariff reduction and on the list of goods to be traded within Africa," he was quoted by the state-run Ethiopian News Agency as saying on Tuesday.
