The tenth edition of the report on Assessing Regional Integration in Africa (ARIA X) delves into the theme of Africa's services trade liberalization and integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). This comprehensive report aims to enhance understanding and appreciation of the crucial role of services in driving trade, production, and economic growth in Africa. It conducts a critical analysis of the various approaches to liberalizing trade in services and regional regulatory cooperation under the AfCFTA, identifying those that hold the greatest potential to support Africa's development.

One of the key objectives of the report is to promote intra-African trade in services, facilitating better and more effective integration into regional and global value chains. By removing barriers to service trade and promoting seamless cross-border flows, the AfCFTA can unlock the immense potential of the African services sector, which accounts for a significant portion of the continent's economy.

Furthermore, the report emphasizes the importance of enhancing both public and private sector capacities in Africa to support the liberalization and integration of services. This includes building robust infrastructure, improving regulatory frameworks, and fostering skills development to enable businesses to compete effectively in the global marketplace.

In an increasingly digitalizing global economy, the report also highlights the need for greater competitiveness in the African services sector. This involves leveraging technology, innovation, and digital platforms to enhance service delivery, improve customer experiences, and expand market reach. By embracing digitalization, Africa can position itself as a hub for services and attract investment and business opportunities from around the world.

Overall, the tenth edition of the report on Assessing Regional Integration in Africa (ARIA X) provides valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges associated with services trade liberalization and integration under the AfCFTA. By promoting intra-African trade, enhancing sector capacities, and embracing digitalization, Africa can position itself as a key player in the global services economy and drive sustainable development and prosperity.
