The Minister for Trade, Agribusiness and Industry, Hon. Mrs. Elizabeth Ofosu-Adjare (MP), participated in the 2nd Edition of the AfCFTA Business Forum, held in Marrakech, Morocco, from 11th to 12th December 2025.

Organised by the Moroccan State Secretariat of State to the Ministry of Trade and Industry, in partnership with the AfCFTA Secretariat and several major Moroccan business entities, the Forum, which was themed “Together for the efficient implementation of the AfCFTA”, provided a platform for participants to deeply reflect on the opportunities and promising prospects offered by the AfCFTA.

Participating in a panel discussion on the topic “Thinking regionally, act continentally: the role of African regions in developing intra-African trade”, the Hon. minister stressed the need for African countries to build strong regional foundations and translate them into continental opportunities. She stressed that by thinking regionally and acting continentally, Ghana was positioning itself as a gateway for Africa’s industrialisation, trade expansion and economic transformation.
