While reforms such as subsidy removal, FX liberalisation, and improved revenue collection have created a foundation for expansion, Afrinvest noted that current growth levels of around 3–4% fall short of the 7% target required. The firm stressed that without stronger reforms, especially in oil, power, and food security, the trillion-dollar goal is unrealistic.

It called on government to accelerate reforms that improve access to stable power, strengthen food systems, ensure FX stability, and create a supportive business environment that allows small businesses to thrive within the AfCFTA framework. | | | |
