Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>THE East African Business Council (EABC) has singled out compliance to rules of origin as a restrictive aspect to trading.<\/p>\n

The regional business council said here recently that small-scale women cross-border traders bore the most brunt, as far as rules of origin was concerned.<\/p>\n

EABC Chief Executive Officer John Bosco Kalisa underscored the need for a flexible, clear predictable rules of origin for business to benefit from the agreement which advocates the elimination and reduction of tariff and non-tariff barriers amongst the 54 countries that agreed to be members of the bloc by providing a single market for goods and services.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current structure on the rules of origin is restrictive in nature,\u201d he said when speaking at a Webinar on for the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Country Business Index Report organized by Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).<\/p>\n

Mr Kalisa further warned that intra-regional trade is sliding back below 20 per cent due to persistent tariff and Non-Tariff Barriers imposed on both large and micro small medium enterprises.<\/p>\n

The EABC boss recommended for sensitization campaigns on the AfCFTA, harmonization of standards on sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures and improving transport and logistics on the continent.<\/p>\n

The ACBI focuses on business perceptions of trading under the Free Trade Area by looking into constraints and challenges.<\/p>\n

It calls for more support to equip enterprises to identify strategic interest and market opportunities in light of the AfCFTA.<\/p>\n

ECA Deputy Executive Secretary and Chief Economist, Hanan Morsy on her part noted that intra African trade was a key driver in building forward for a green, inclusive and resilient Africa.<\/p>\n

According to her, AfCFTA had huge potential to drive sustainable development.<\/p>\n

ECA research forecasts that in 2045 Gross Domestic Product will be $55 billion higher and welfare will increase by $3 billion through the implementation of the AfCFTA.<\/p>\n
