Casablanca Finance City and African Development Bank Group co-hosted
a high-level event on “Connecting Africa – the AfCFTA Agenda.”

The event brought together leading regional institutions and prominent private sector players — including African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), Uma, African Union Development Agency-NEPAD, BOAD, CGEM, OCP Group, Attijariwafa bank, Tanger Med, Orange, Africa50 Group, and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) — to align on key priorities for advancing AfCFTA.
 
Participants called for the creation of a dedicated private sector platform focused on four operational pillars:
•           Accelerating market access
•           Bridging infrastructure gaps
•           Deepening financial integration
•           Empowering financial and business hubs

This platform would serve as a strategic tool to amplify private sector leadership in implementing AfCFTA.
