Major strides for AfCFTA as ministers agree on rules of origin

A key milestone in implementing the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has been achieved after the council of Ministers agreed on rules of origin which will cover 87.7% of goods across the continent. We speak with Dr Francis Mangeni, Advisor to the AFCFTA Secretariat, on how the trade body will prop up countries that lose revenue by removing tariffs using a new billion dollar fund.

Also, Uganda and Rwanda reopen land border after a three-year closure on the back of intense diplomacy.

We also hear from Chris Chenga, Analyst at Maruva Capital in Zimbabwe, on why Interest rates are such a big deal in any economy in view of inflation.

Live from our studios in Nairobi, Peter Mwangangi presents this edition of 大象传媒 Money Daily.
