Speaking at the signing ceremony, Chief executive officer of EABC Mr John Bosco Kalisa said “intra-African trade is currently low at 14.4 per cent of total African exports.”  He said the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is set to boost intra-African trade by about 33 per cent.

He said in 2021, EAC bloc goods export to Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) reached $91 million while imports $256 million.

EABC and ACCI partnership will champion AfCFTA implementation by collaborating and linking businesses to access export/import and investment opportunities.

President of ACCI Dr. Al-Mujtaba Abubakar Gumi said “The partnership will boost commercial information exchange, customer due diligence information and offers a platform for alternative dispute resolution on trade matters.”
