The African continental free trade area, financial access and women

Development Finance Agenda, 2023, vol. 8, issue 2, 10-11

Abstract: The importance of assessing nexuses between international trade, financial access and female economic participation in Africa is premised on at least three fundamentals in the policy and scholarly literature on the subject, notably: (i) the low participation of women in the formal economic sector in the continent, (ii) the policy importance of assessing the incidence of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCTFA) on the continent and (iii) gaps in the attendant literature on the subject. These points are substantiated in the same order as highlighted in Tchamyou, Some and Asongu (2022) who have examined the relevance of the African Continental Free Trade Area and financial development in promoting the female gender in the formal economic sector.
