Since 21 March, Morocco has been one of the 44 signatory countries of the agreement on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). This historic agreement, sought by the African Union, makes it possible to create a market of respectable size thanks to the continent’s combined GDP, which is close to 2,500 billion dollars. The signing of this agreement now paves the way for negotiations on the parameters and terms of this African free trade area. Opportunities, synergies and partnerships are all assets for Morocco and all the signatory countries. “This agreement reflects the Kingdom’s commitment to Africa and its full support for the continent’s development and integration process”, said Mr El Othmani, Head of Government, in a statement to the press.
