The inaugural virtual edition of GTR West Africa 2021 took place on March 24-25, welcoming record participation of
trade specialists from across the African continent, Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Spanning two days of lively debate and interactive audience Q&A, over 40 expert speakers shared insight on the primary challenges and opportunities emerging across the regional trade finance sector. Discussions ranged the MDB initiatives and digital innovations put in place to ensure the continued provision of crucial trade finance liquidity during a chaotic first year of
the pandemic to the primary trends expected to drive West African economic growth into the coming decade,
with discussion around the AfCFTA proving a huge draw for attendees.
An air of positivity characterised this extensive virtual gathering, with many discussions highlighting the successful adaptation of market players to myriad
pandemic-driven challenges while pinpointing the further work required across private and public sectors in order
to empower trade to continue to drive West Africa’s economic growth. We look forward to continuing the
conversation in person at GTR West Africa 2022!
