Role of the African Continental Free Trade Area in the tech sector

The digital sector plays a pivotal role in driving economic prosperity. In its initial stages, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) primarily focuses on facilitating the movement of goods, services and associated financial transactions. This is achieved through the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), which enables instantaneous local currency transactions within Africa, eliminating the need for conversion into hard currencies.
