Keynote Speech by Endalew Mekonnen, State Minister in the FDRE Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration (MoTRI) at the High-level Panel on "The AfCFTA and Private Sector: Realizing Africa’s Full Potential"
| dc.description | The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) Office Ethiopia/AU and the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) co-organized a high-level panel discussion on June 16, 2022, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in recognition of the private sector's central role in promoting regional integration, cooperation and ensuring a successful implementation of the AfCFTA. In his keynote address, Mr. Endalew Mekonnen, Ethiopian State Minister of Trade and Regional Integration citing the experience of Ethiopia said that his country is turning the page on decades of reliance on the state to drive economic growth and unleashing the potential of the private sector. “Recent government reforms and incentives have created new investment and business opportunities to revitalize the economy by broadening the role of the private sector and to encourage private sector development in various fields including infrastructure,” Mr. Mekonnen underscored. “We firmly believe that strengthening our trade relations within Africa through AfCFTA is very critical, not only because of the volume of trade but also in achieving the objective of the Pan-African movement in the framework of creating a strong and united Africa,” the State Minister noted. | en |
