Ghana uses AfCFTA to strengthen trade relations with Kenya

Ghana has declared its intention to take advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement in order to strengthen commercial ties with Kenya. As part of the measures to promote trade relations between the two countries, the West African state will establish an Export Trade House (ETH) in Kenya. Before the trade fair, Ghana will organize a three-day business expedition to highlight the goods it plans to import into Kenya. Because of regulatory constraints, trade barriers between East and West African nations have historically been low. Nonetheless, thanks to the AfCTA, the world's largest free trade agreement, many African nations are now trading more independently. Kenya and Nigeria were the first two countries to sign their AfCFTA ratification agreements on the same day.
