AfCFTA is an ambitious trade pact aiming to form the world\u2019s largest free trade area by connecting almost 1.3 billion people across 54 African countries. The agreement aims to create a single market for goods and services in order to deepen economic integration in Africa.<\/p>\n

Given this, Minister Moreno urged the private sector to modernise its services so that Mozambican companies were able to compete internationally.<\/p>\n

Silvino Moreno was speaking at the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) business forum in Maputo, an event taking place on the sidelines of the Annual Private Sector Conference (CASP).<\/p>\n

Also present at the occasion, CTA president Agostinho Vuma said that the business sector would support the government continuing to stimulate the strategic development sectors for the period 2020-2024.<\/p>\n
