COST AND BENEFIT EFFECTS OF AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA (AFCFTA) FOR ECOWAS COUNTRIES

Interna􀆟onal Journal of Business Review And Entrepreneurship, 2022

Regional integra�on is a must for Africa's economic transforma�on and long-term socioeconomic dev... more Regional integra�on is a must for Africa's economic transforma�on and long-term socioeconomic development. On the one hand, it is a development plan aiming at combining the countries of ECOWAS into a single huge market capable of delivering economies of scale, enhanced compe��veness, FDI, and poverty reduc�on. Regional integra�on, on the other hand, aids in the resolu�on of non-economic issues such as reoccurring conflicts and poli�cal instability, as well as improving the con�nent's nego�a�ng posi�on on the interna�onal stage. Despite the recent shi� in the growth poles of the global economy from developed countries to emerging and developing countries, Africa lags behind and remains marginalized. This is partly because the con�nent remains a fragmented bundle of small resource-rich but commodity-dependent economies. For Africa to op�mize its resource endowments and translate them into welfare gains for its teeming popula�on, regional integra�on is inevitable. The eight regional economic communi�es are at various stages in the integra�on process, and it is not certain that all the obstacles could be addressed in order to achieve the African economic community (AEC) in line with the �melines of the Abuja Treaty. Meanwhile, African leaders and policymakers are showing more interests and making stronger commitments toward fast-tracking the AEC. Meanwhile, African leaders and policymakers are showing more interests and making stronger commitments toward fast-tracking the AEC. As a first step toward this goal, the leaders agreed to establish the African Con�nental Free Trade Area (AFCFTA) by 2017. The goal of this study is to determine whether the AFCFTA and ECOWAS' economic and industrial goals are in sync; to assess the economic benefits and costs of the agreement to ECOWAS economies in terms of output, trade, and welfare; and to incorporate private sector perspec�ves on the agreement's benefits and costs to businesses in all sectors and the overall macro economy.
