Africa free trade agreement gets last ratification from Gambia
Excitement was palpable throughout the region as the dream for a continental free trade area in Africa got the final ratification needed to become a reality on Monday.
Gambia became the 22nd African country to ratify the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement (AfCFTA), meaning the bill now has the minimum number of ratifications needed to come into effect.
On March 21 Ethiopia became one of the last African nations to ratify the AfCFTA, bringing the tally of endorsing countries to 21.
The trade bloc spanning 49 countries with a combined GDP of $3trn, will facilitate inter-regional trade, boost growth and help to alleviate poverty, its supporters say.
The news was tweeted by the African Union Commissioner for Trade and Industry Albert Muchanga:
“Good news! The Parliament of The Gambia has APPROVED ratification of #AfCFTA Agreement making us meet the minimum threshold.
“The AfCFTA market is being born and is one step ready for launch of its operational phase in July this year.

The agreement, signed by 49 of the 55 African Union nations in March last year, will dodge a patchwork of trade regulations and tariffs that make intra-African commerce costly, time-consuming and cumbersome.
Its promotion of tariff-free movement of goods, people and services across the continent is also expected to favour SME’s, who account for 80% of Africa’s employment and 50% of its GDP, according to the World Bank.
But skeptics have pointed to the impending challenges of uniting countries with the greatest level of income disparity between them, under the umbrella of one trade bloc.
For example, over 50 percent of Africa’s cumulative GDP is contributed by Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa, while Africa’s six sovereign island nations collectively contribute just 1 percent.
The motion was brought before Gambia’s parliament by Lamin Jobe, Gambia’s trade minister who highlighted the trade benefits of deeper regional integration:
“This document will definitely serve as a take-off point to enhance the free movement of people, good and services.
“By using this there is a lot of advantages that we can gain from the implementation of this agreement,” he said.

Asante Waafrika kwa kuandika historia upya, vizazi vyetu vya kesho vitatushukuru sisi ambao tumethubutu, tumefanya haya maamuzi ya kufunguliana hii mipaka ambayo mzungu alikuja akatuchorea na kutufungia humo tukakaa kama mazombi bila kufikiria wala kujiongeza.
Kuna mfano hutolewa wa utumwa, kwamba ndovu akiwa mchanga umfunge na kamba nyepesi kwenye mti, hata akija kuwa mkubwa dume mwenye nguvu hatothubutu kujikwamua, maana alishaaminishwa kwamba ile kamba ni dhabiti na inamzidi kwa nguvu, hivyo tusiwalaumu Waafrika wenzetu wachache ambao wamechagua kubaki kwenye mazoea, ni vigumu kuwabadilisha kisaikolojia, labda vizazi vyao vya karne zijazo watakuja kuelewa nini kinazungumziwa humu.

Nawaacha na hiki kibao cha Steve Kekana

 
Mkikuyu akili-Timamu you got it all wrong...overall contribution of manufacturing to GDP has been overtaken by other sectors...giving a false impression that its shrinking,but if you look closely,the industry is growing only that it is faring badly to other sectors which have grown tremenduosly dwarfing the manufacturing sector....even the article you posted indicates so.
 
Ningezaliwa mtanzania ningejinyonga. Siwezi jipata ati kila saa natoa machungu ya umasikini na wakenya.
Tanzanian you should try to be happy msikie vile sisi tunafurahi kuwaongoza kwa kila kitu mnacho tamani...sgr,superhigway,big cities, umeme usio wa kubahatisha, gdp, ppp, utalii na kutalii, working constitution halafu failed state na njaa(kumfurahisha joto la jiwe). Povu imwagwe
 
Failed state ndo his remaining weapon.

When a sector is not growing at the rate of other sectors, then its a laggad pulling down the economy with its sluggishness

Nadhani kasumba yenu kuu huwa ni uelewa finyu. Yaani hamjui kinachoendelea nje ya mipaka yenu. Mkataba wa AfCFTA ni mkataba wa waafrika uliobuniwa na waafrika. Ndio maana habari kama hizi kwenye uzi huu zinapokewa kwa furuha na waafrika wote. Ila sio ishu, Tz sio lazima mtie saini, mmebaki Tz-Eritrea-Benin, ligi ya nchi vibwengo.

Juzi Magu kapatia misri kandarasi ya stiglers( $3bn)uwanja wa dodoma kampa morocco($300m) kenya kanunua korosho za Tz ($180m) kulihitajika Afcta kwa hayo yote?..Hii ni taka taka tu, bora uwe na mahusiano mazuri na wenzio
 
Jeez.....Mkikuyu Akili-Timamu.... Your problems is plucking figures from thin air..since when did the growth of manufacturing sector decline to 0.5%.....the third largest contributor to GDP.....anyways there bottlenects such as cross-border restriction by dictators such as magufuli whos agenda appears to blockade kenyan goods destined for Tz....thank God free trade is happening and we will expand our tentacles.....secondly....illicit substandard goods were hurting the sector....thank God the government has woken up and shaken the underworld illegal trade....thirdly cheap imports from china and india are really hurting the manufacturing sector in africa as whole.....but then again the free trade area will remedy that mess by spurring intra -african trade.....the future has never been more promising.
