Egypt has launched its national trade information portal, offering one-stop access to up-to-date import, export and transit procedures through a single platform.

By centralizing regulatory information, the portal aims to reduce compliance costs and smooth trade at a time of global uncertainty.

The initiative is supported by UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) through its Accelerate Trade Facilitation Programme, which helps countries deploy digital solutions to improve access to information, enhance coordination and boost trade efficiency.

The Secretariat received a delegation from the University of Cincinnati, Ohio State, United States of America. The six-member delegation was made up of senior faculty members from business and social science, with a keen interest on understanding African economic integration, and how they could contribute towards the continent’s economic transformation. The Session provided the Secretariat the opportunity to appraise the university on the state of play on the implementation of the AfCFTA Agreement, and the role academia could play towards boosting the prospects of this transformative pan-African initiative.

Discussions focused on strengthening ongoing collaboration and advancing key strategic priorities, with the university playing a key role through evidence-based trade policy research to inform objective AfCFTA trade reform initiatives for the benefit of state parties. Such knowledge generation is a key resource towards generating risk-mitigation policy interventions to sustain implementation of the Agreement. Both parties reaffirmed their shared commitment to deepen collaboration and forge viable win-win partnerships to enhance traction on the Africa’s economic integration agenda across the various tiers of programming, that is, national, regional and continental.

The hashtag Secretariat was pleased to participate in the launch of the UK–Africa Digital Trade Finance Corridor (NeoFingo) in Accra.
This initiative reflects a critical priority for the AfCFTA: unlocking access to trade finance for African SMEs and enabling them to participate more effectively in regional and global markets.

By leveraging digital innovation and regulatory collaboration, NeoFingo demonstrates how we can move from ambition to implementation—building the systems that make trade work at scale.

The hashtag Secretariat remains committed to supporting solutions that:
expand market access
strengthen financial inclusion
and accelerate Africa’s economic transformation
