Once fully implemented, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will be the world's largest common market with about 1.3 billion people.
The UNCTAD Economic Development in Africa Report 2019: Made in Africa - Rules of origin for enhanced intra-African trade (EDAR) analyzes the critical role that rules of origin play for making better use of preferential trade opportunities and for enhancing intra-African trade.
The EDAR 2019 argues for the adoption of simple, transparent, business-friendly and predictable rules of origin. If rules of origin are well designed, there is much to be gained in the AfCFTA.
