The Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) 2021 scheduled for Durban, KwaZulu-Natal South Africa in November this year would attract more than $40 billion worth of trade deals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IATF 2021 will provide a unique and valuable platform for businesses to access an integrated African Market of over 1.2billion people with a Gross Domestic Product of over 2.5trillion dollars created under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Denys Denya, Executive Vice President, Finance, Administration and Banking Services at Afreximbank, said the trade fair would make AfCFTA a possibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Denya was speaking at the first Country Roadshow held in Accra as a prelude to IATF 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Roadshow is to raise the awareness of the private sector about the substantial benefits of attending the second edition of IATF 2021, which will take place in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa from 15 to 21 November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
