Ethiopia has reportedly completed the work from strategy preparation to tariff publication to implement the African Free Trade Agreement.

 

The Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration has also said that it will begin implementing the trade agreement in a very short time with an official ceremony.

 

Ethiopia, which is one of the first countries to sign the African Free Trade Agreement and ratify it in parliament, has reportedly prepared an implementation strategy that includes issues such as how trade will be carried out? What legal frameworks will govern the process and similar issues.

 

We have also heard that the document governing the tax system has also been prepared by the Ministry of Finance.

 

The Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration’s Executive Director for Communications Affairs, Ato Wondimu Flate, told us that the agreement will begin implementing the agreement in a very short time with an official ceremony.

 

Ethiopian traders need to increase their capacity to be competitive once the agreement is implemented, and the Executive Office of Communications Affairs is also working to introduce new procedures, we have been told.

 

When the African Free Trade Agreement is fully implemented, it is expected to increase trade between the countries of the continent to 33 percent.

 

It is said that the current trade between the countries does not exceed 11 percent.
