Easing Cross-Border Trade and Customs in a Freer World: The African Perspective

Watch our experts speak on key aspects of cross-border trade in Africa.

There is greater freedom in Africa today: there is a freer trade regime, more open borders, reduced tariffs and vanishing non-tariff barriers.

For businesses, the picture ought to look rosy.

And yet, many African enterprises have had to wrestle with logistical disruptions every day. For them, key challenges persist.

In this recording of a recent webinar, Lars Karlsson, Animesh Mittal, Ernani Checcucci and Malika Bourafray address several factors that challenge the seamless movement of goods across borders. They share insights on:

• Customs processes
• Duties and taxes
• Transparency in regulatory processes
• Government initiatives and policies facilitating trade
• Trends in trade and commerce across Africa

With an understanding of these issues, we expect your business to achieve greater efficiency and better resilience to disrupting forces.
