The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is an initiative of the African Union to create a single continent-wide market for goods, services, capital and people. It represents the world's largest free-trade zone in terms of the number of participating countries, thus promoting African economic integration.

L'Ethiopiadespite its landlocked location, is undergoing a major economic transformation.

• Addis Ababa industrial zone
• Massive investment in infrastructure
