East Africa’s rapidly growing population and dynamic economies offer immense opportunities, yet low intra-regional trade remains a significant challenge. Despite being part of multiple economic blocs such as the EAC, COMESA, SADC, and ECCAS, trade between member states is limited, calling for deeper collaboration and integration. At the recent East Africa: Powering Africa's Sustainable Growth event hosted by ALN Mauritius | BLC Robert & Associates and ourselves, key discussions focused on addressing these opportunities and challenges. Panellists emphasised the need to enhance trade infrastructure and regulatory frameworks, strengthen regional value chains in key sectors like green manufacturing, fintech, and e-commerce and promote cross-border collaboration to drive economic resilience and sustainable growth. As East Africa positions itself as a leading investment destination, fostering intra-regional trade will be pivotal in unlocking its full potential and cementing its role as a key economic hub. A heartfelt thank you to all our speakers, panellists, and participants who brought invaluable insights to the conversation. Your expertise and insight are helping shape the future of intra-regional trade and driving East Africa’s growth.
