"Africa has potential; all it needs is platforms. And IATF2025 is that platform." Speaking at the #IATF2025 South Africa Roadshow, H.E. Wamkele Mene , Secretary General of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, called for a push, not because we are desperate, but because we are determined. As the world becomes more uncertain, especially with shifting trade rules, climate disruptions, and widening inequalities, Africa isn't operating in desperation; it is poised to leverage the strategic opportunity that lies ahead. “We must industrialise. We must build value chains. We must invest in ourselves,” he said. “And it is countries like South Africa, with its vast manufacturing base, that can spearhead this effort.” This is not the time for small, regional thinking. Now is the time for regional value chains where African countries can trade with one another, not in raw materials to feel poorer, but in manufactured goods that we have built, grown, processed, and packaged - with pride and with purpose. The Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) is where policy meets the private sector, where ideas turn into deals, and where SMEs finally get their spotlight. Whether you’re in agribusiness, automotive, logistics, creative or tech - Algeria, this September, is your place to be. “Come exhibit. Come connect. Come claim your space in Africa’s market of 1.4 billion people,” H.E. Wamkele urged. The #AfCFTA isn’t just a trade agreement. It’s Africa’s economic engine, and #IATF2025 is where the rubber meets the road. #AfCFTAMarketplace #RoadToIATF #B2BAfrica #AfricaTrade #MadeInAfrica #AfricanSMEs

Powering Africa’s Trade: Afreximbank’s AfPAY Roadshow Lands in Banjul The 2025 AfPAY and Compliance Regional Roadshows have marked a strong start to the year, with meaningful engagements across the continent, most recently in Banjul, The Gambia. In The Gambia, Afreximbank brought together representatives from 20 financial institutions for a high-impact workshop focused on deepening access to seamless, cross-border payments and strengthening compliance across the African financial ecosystem. The sessions were followed by targeted bilateral meetings with key stakeholders, including Trust Bank, Vista Bank, Agib Bank, and the Central Bank of The Gambia. These discussions provided a platform for aligning on shared priorities and exploring new opportunities for collaboration. AfPAY, Afreximbank’s pan-African payment and settlement platform, remains a transformative solution for the continent. In 2024 alone, it enabled the settlement of international trade transactions worth over USD 32 billion, supporting more than 400 banks in connecting efficiently to global markets. Underpinning AfPAY’s impact is a robust compliance framework built on risk-based due diligence, stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, and the introduction of the African Legal Entity Identifier (ALEI), designed to promote transparency and accountability in international transactions. The roadshow in Banjul also underscored The Gambia’s strategic position along West Africa’s Atlantic coast and its growing ambition to transform key sectors, including agribusiness, ICT, energy, tourism, and manufacturing. With this momentum, Afreximbank remains committed to driving forward a more connected, secure, and prosperous Africa, one transaction at a time. #Afreximbank #AfPay
