African Trade Report 2025: Analysis and Summary
Key Insights
Overview
- Africa's trade is navigating a challenging global environment characterized by geopolitical fragmentation, rising protectionism, and trade policy uncertainty. Despite these headwinds, the continent has shown resilience, with merchandise trade growing by 13.9% in 2024 to reach $220.3 billion.
Global Trends Impacting Africa's Trade
- Global trade growth slowed in 2025 to 2.8% (down from 2.9% in 2024), pressured by higher tariffs, trade diversion under AfCFTA, and protectionist policies from major economies. Nearly a decade of deficits could end as Africa's exports to North America increase by about 7.9% in 2024.
- Key challenges include heightened trade tensions, supply chain disruptions due to regional conflicts, and the geopolitical rivalry between the US and China affecting global value chains.
Africa's Trade Performance
- Africa's share of global trade remains marginal at around 3%. While trade volumes are improving, average import coverage for African countries is less than 23.7%, limiting intra-African commerce.
- Intra-African trade expanded by 12.4% in 2024, though it still accounts for only 14.4% of the continent's total exports, down slightly from the 2022 peak.
Role of Afreximbank and Multilateral Institutions
- Afreximbank has been actively supporting African trade through its Ukraine Crisis Adjustment Trade Financing Programme and other measures to address funding gaps. The African Export-Import Bank continues to spearhead regional payment systems like PAPSS to enhance financial integration.
- The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) shows early signs of implementation, with 48 countries having ratified the agreement by late 2024.
Opportunities and Recommendations
- Leveraging AfCFTA protocols and strengthening regional payment systems like PAPSS could significantly boost intra-African trade.
- Financial sovereignty and industrial diversification are crucial for enhancing Africa's trade position in the global economy.
- Technological innovation and green finance mechanisms offer pathways for economic transformation in Africa.
Forward-Looking Recommendations For Africa
- Accelerate implementation of AfCFTA protocols to deepen regional economic integration.
- Develop regional value chains to reduce dependence on primary commodity exports.
- Enhance digital infrastructure to lower trade barriers and improve market access.
- Continue reforms to improve capital access and fiscal space within member states.
