The Africa CEO Trade Survey focuses on capturing the thoughts and perspectives of Africa’s private sector, both at localized and pan-African levels. By bringing together the opinions of C-level executives from various industries, the survey aims to inform policy and provide a framework for advancing trade and investment policies within the continent.

Key findings from the previous year’s survey [PDF] offer valuable insights into the African business landscape. E-commerce, for instance, has experienced unparalleled growth throughout the continent, with 62% of respondents affirming its importance to their business operations. In the energy sector, half of the participants expressed the need for increased investments in energy projects through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA agreement). Moreover, respondents identified a lack of information on markets, opportunities, and trading partners as the primary constraints to intra-African trade.

Furthermore, the survey revealed a high level of confidence among participants regarding the positive impact of Intra-African trade under AfCFTA on the financial services sector. The agreement holds great promise for transforming trade dynamics within Africa, fostering economic growth, and promoting collaboration among nations.
