The PAFTRAC Africa CEO Trade Survey, now in its third year, is the leading gauge of private-sector sentiment on trade and investment within Africa. The survey, a joint initiative of African Business and the Pan-African Private Sector Trade and Investment Committee (PAFTRAC), gathers the opinions of more than 1000 senior executives from firms operating across the continent. It covers topics such as the effects of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), the current and future trends of African trade flows, and the trade-related ambitions and obstacles of the respondents.
The 2023 edition of the survey was conducted in partnership with the AfCFTA Secretariat, Afreximbank, AUDA-NEPAD, Botho, International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) and the International Trade Centre (ITC).
The survey shows that business leaders are upbeat about Africa’s economic prospects, but also wary of the risks posed by rising inflation and debt burdens on the AfCFTA’s implementation and the trade climate. It also underscores the need for more cooperation and dialogue between the private sector and policymakers to boost trade facilitation and innovation.
To learn more about the key findings of the survey and their implications, join us for the launch of the 2023 edition of the PAFTRAC Africa CEO Trade Survey Report.

The platform drives pan-African results by providing a framework for private sector engagement in trade and investment issues in Africa, including policy formulation and trade negotiations to support African economies in line with the ambitions of Agenda 2063: “The Africa We Want”.
