AFRICA'S TRADE RESILIENCE PUSH

A major UN report says African economies need to strengthen resilience against trade shocks from political, economic, energy, technological, and climate disruptions. It argues that reliance on foreign markets, volatile commodity exports, heavy debt, and weak infrastructure have deepened vulnerability across the continent. The report calls for diversification, stronger regional markets, better infrastructure, and improved conditions for smaller firms. This makes trade resilience and regional integration the key Africa story today.
