Alger accueille mardi un forum de haut niveau pour la promotion du commerce et de l’investissement intra-africains
Summary of Upcoming High-Level Forum in Algiers
Algeria is set to host a high-level forum next Tuesday aimed at promoting intra-African trade and investment. This event serves as a precursor to the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF 2025), scheduled to take place in Algeria from September 4 to 10 this year.
The forum will bring together senior government officials, business leaders, investors, and participants from the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The primary goal is to engage in strategic discussions about enhancing intra-African trade by accelerating regional value chains and boosting Africa’s competitiveness in global markets, as outlined in the organizers’ communiqué.
Organized by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), the AfCFTA Secretariat, and the African Union Commission (AUC) in collaboration with the Algerian government, the forum aims to provide a platform for companies, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), investors, and policymakers. Participants will have the opportunity to explore business and investment prospects, network with partners, and learn about trade facilitation tools offered by Afreximbank.
This event is the culmination of a series of significant gatherings that have taken place across major African markets, including Nairobi (Kenya), Accra (Ghana), Johannesburg (South Africa), and Lagos (Nigeria). It also presents a unique opportunity for Algerian businesses to connect with a network of international investors, investigate export opportunities, and further engage in intra-African trade.
In summary, the forum is expected to be a critical initiative for fostering deeper economic ties within Africa, paving the way for sustainable growth and development across the continent.
