Abstract: In the last decades, trade performance of the African countries has seen significantimprovements. This is due, on the one hand, to enhanced bilateral trade with emerging economies,especially China, India and Brazil, whose “appetite” for resources was an important stimulus. On theother hand, it is the result of increased regional integration in the ”Dark Continent”, through theestablishment of the Tripartite Free Trade Area and the advanced talks on the creation of theContinental Free Trade Area. Nevertheless, according to trade in goods statistics by regions andcountries, Africa ranks last.This paper aims to give an analysis of the African countries’ commercial relations with therest of the world, based on UNCTAD statistics and literature provided by the IMF, WTO, OECD, andAfDB (African Development Bank).
