Business News of Wednesday, 10 March 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comRemoving Trade Barriers in Africa will attract more investment – Gary StillGary Still, Managing Director at CITAC Africa LimitedThe Managing Director at CITAC Africa Limited, Gary Still, has stated that to ensure a successful Free Continental Trade Area (AfCFTA) in Africa, the continent must consider taking out the trade barriers which have been a hindrance to free movement. Speaking at the Ghana International Petroleum Conference 2021 which was held virtually, Mr Still said trading in Africa is significant to the economic growth of the continent, hence the importance of the regulation that lifts some current trade barriers. “If you have a different standard, then you will automatically throw away any barriers that prevent you from transacting trade, trade barriers must be reduced to allow people to trade freely. This will help grow economic activities on the continent. However, the two-day conference is expected to engage stakeholders on the best measures and policies to adapt to enhance the economy of the continent through the help of AfCFTA.
