On Friday 7th July ,2023, some Executives of the Ghana International Trade & Finance Conference (GITFiC), presented a communique and a plaque to the Chief Executive of the Ghana Highway Authority following the GITFiC conference held in May, 2023.

Background

In 2018, the African Heads of State and Government reached a consensus, leading to the establishment of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) as a single market for trade in goods and services. Africa's integration agenda aims to boost intra-African trade and investment, generating economic growth, creating job opportunities for millions, and offering prospects for women and youth entrepreneurs.

Over the years, GITFiC has collaborated with the private and government sectors in the sub-region and across the continent to drive the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) and advance the broader development agenda of the continent, as outlined in the African Union's Agenda 2063.

The Ghana International Trade & Finance Conference organized its 7th Trade and Finance Conference at the Royal Senchi Hotel & Resort, Eastern Region- Ghana, to particularly provide a platform for seasoned experts in trade and finance to share perspectives and deepen the discussion on the importance of a single currency for Africa. The conference which took place from 26th to 27th May, 2023 was on the theme " Sovereign Economic Vulnerabilities: an endorsement for a single currency for Africa.” Ghana Highway Authority was well represented at the conference by the Chief Executive, Deputy Chief Executive (Administration), Deputy Chief Executive (Maintenance), and other directors.

The executives from GITFiC who presented the plaque included: Chief Executive Officer, Selasie Koffi Ackom, Director, Research, Policy &Advocacy,
