Monrovia – Deputy Commerce Minister for Trade Steve Marvie says intra-regional trade is needed to unlock the huge agriculture and industrial potential in West Africa. The Commerce Minister for Trade said ECOWAS trade liberalization scheme (ETLS) presents opportunities for Liberia’s industries, companies and the private sector at large. “The rational underpinning the ETLS is to promote regional trade transactions using regional modalities,” Marvie said. Marvie says he’s please that Liberia has finally joined other member states to implement the ETLS which will facilitate regional trade. With the advent of the Common External Tariff (CET) Marvie said Liberia is again showing to the rest of the world that the future is regional trade.
