Our borders must become bridges. With intra-African trade at just 15% vs 67% in Europe, we're leaving enormous economic potential untapped. Watch my vision for how the AfDB can transform Africa's trade landscape and create millions of jobs through regional integration.

This evening, I was on SABC News discussing the lessons Africa must learn from Donald Trump’s trade tariffs and what Africa needs to do to avoid falling victim to such knee-jerk policy changes. I was with SABC News’ foreign editor, Sophie Mokoena.m I emphasised the need for Africa to increase intra-continental trade, ramp up infrastructure such as railways, and remove tariffs to facilitate successful trade within the continent. I added that Zimbabwe’s 100% tariffs on South African goods are an example of how such policies are counterproductive if we want to increase trade among ourselves.

Proud moment for the Brydge team. Today, Brydge (@insidebrydge) was recognized by Development Bank of Nigeria at the Tech Summit for the work we're doing to unlock intra-African trade. Every day, we help businesses source products, verify suppliers, make payments, and coordinate logistics across African markets. Only 6% of Africa's trade happens within Africa. We believe the future looks very different. Our goal is to build the operating system for African trade, making cross-border commerce as seamless as buying from a local supplier. The award is encouraging, but the mission remains the same: help businesses trade with African businesses at scale. We're just getting started. If you're a manufacturer, importer, distributor, or trading company in Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, or Ghana looking to source inputs, or build more resilient supply chains, we'd love to speak with you. And if you're a financial institution, logistics provider, trade organization, ecosystem partner, or investor passionate about building the future of African commerce, let's connect. The future of African trade will be built by Africans trading with Africans. Join us. #Brydge #IntraAfricaTrade #AfricanTrade #SupplyChain #Manufacturing #TradeFinance #AfCFTA #MadeInAfrica #TradeTech #AfricaRising
