Subject 2- Role of the African Women - African Businesswoman. Syllabus:
The proportion of Africans living on less than 1.25 dollars a day fell from 58% in 1996 to 50%.
The creation of several institutions related to the economic integration in Africa
was expected to increase intra-African trade in products.
Sample:
Such
International Trade augmented from 2% in the early 1980 to 9% of total African exports, but these statistics underestimate the actual flows as they do not include the unrecorded external trade, which is thought to be crucial.
Even with this caution, the intra-African trade flows are low in comparison to those in other regions and relative to African foreign trade potential.
The analysis of foreign trade destinations show that notwithstanding the low
aggregate level of intra-African trade, such regional trade is vital for many African Countries.
At least 25% of the exports from twenty African Countries are absorbed by the regional market. The magnitude of trade blocs is highlighted by the fact that 75% of the intra-African trade takes place within these regional groups.
Africa has a long tradition of cross-border investment but the lack of reliable data has constrained a detailed analysis. The limited data available show that the intra-African Foreign investment represents 13% of the total inward
Foreign direct investment.
This level is less than 50% the figure for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations region, where intraregional investment represents 30% of the total Foreign direct investment.
Developing
Trade in Services is a key component for successful regional integration in Africa. The services stand for, or have the potential to become, an important export earnings
sources for numerous African Countries.
