Zimbabwe: Industry and Commerce Minister Dr Sekai Nzenza has called on businesses to invest towards enhancing exports into the regional markets to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Founded in 2018, the AfCFTA was implemented effective 1 January 2021, becoming the largest free trade area in the world in terms of the number of participating countries since the formation of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Dr Nzenza said local industry could transform the economy by working together towards exploiting opportunities presented by the US$3,4 trillion market presented by the AfCFTA.
“We can make Zimbabwe great,” she said in a presentation made on her behalf by her ministry’s director of commerce and consumer affairs Constance Zhanje during the second edition of the business dinner and awards ceremony by Global Renaissance Investments (GRI). The awards dinner was held last week in the capital.
