In line with the previous edition, the latest PAFTRAC Africa CEO Trade Survey Report (2024) provides an assessment of the impact of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) on African trade. PAFTRAC is the acronym of Pan-African Private Sector Trade and Investment Committee, an advocacy platform bringing together stakeholders from both the public and private sector to formulate policy recommendations aimed at improving trade and investment flows across the continent. Every year PAFTRAC issues a report where it describes the perceptions of African Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) about the future economic outlook of the continent based on specific surveys. All the editions of the report also make an analysis of the expectations of African businesses regarding the AfCFTA.
