African Trade Report 2025: African Trade in a Changing Global Financial Architecture

Jun 09, 2025 | Afreximbank

The 2025 edition of the African Trade Report, published by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), examines trade and economic development in Africa and other parts of the world during 2024 and explores how a rapidly fragmenting global economy—marked by intensifying geopolitical schisms and industrial-policy rivalries—is reshaping Africa’s trade dynamics just as the continent pursues industrialization and deeper intra-African trade integration. Its release comes as protectionism-fueled tariff wars are heightening risk and deepening policy uncertainty.
