At the African Union summit held in January 2012, African leaders renewed their political commitment to boosting intra-African trade within the context of regional economic integration. The rationale for this renewed commitment ranges from the need to promote sustained growth and economic transformation to insulation of African economies from external shocks and seizing the growing opportunities for regional trade created by the recent economic growth in Africa and the rise of the middle class. In this context, increasing intra-African trade is regarded by African leaders as an important vehicle to boost growth, create jobs and promote economic development on the continent.
