Last month's AfCFTA Trade & Investment Roundtable brought together logistics operators, customs officials, and investors to discuss practical barriers to cross-border trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area.

Key themes included customs harmonization delays, the financing gap for small and mid-sized exporters, and the opportunity for diaspora-linked capital to fill it. A full summary is available in our AfCFTA Outlook 2026 publication.
