The AfCFTA has challenged the business landscape of the African continent by facilitating trade across its numerous internal borders, which were once and to some extent remain barriers to the Agreement’s actualization. Mergers and acquisitions play an important role toward leveraging pre-existing soft and hard infrastructure in other jurisdictions to increase business opportunities and derive profit. However, on the premise that some market stakeholders possess more financial resources and otherwise at their disposal than others, how would the AfCFTA Competition policy regulate the playing field?
Join us as we discuss the intricacies within the topic “Exploring Mergers and Acquisitions under AfCFTA Competition Policy” and learn how it could accelerate the growth and development of businesses across Africa and the noteworthy points proffered by our esteemed and experienced panel of speakers.
