Afreximbank’s Chief Economist projects Trade Opportunities at Ghana IATF2025 Roadshow

Dr. Yemi Kale, Group Chief Economist and Managing Director of Research at the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), delivered key remarks at the recent Ghana IATF2025 Business Roadshow held in Accra.

The event brought together government officials, business leaders, investors, and members of the trade community to advance the goal of promoting intra-African trade.

It forms part of a series of roadshows being held across the continent in the lead-up to the fourth edition of the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2025), scheduled to take place in Algiers, Algeria, from 4–10 September 2025.

As Ghana accelerates the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the country aims to open up new opportunities for local businesses by shifting from raw commodity exports to value-added trade. Key sectors such as gold, oil, and cocoa are at the center of this transformation strategy.
