African leaders launch free-trade zone billed as economic 'game changer'
African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat speaks during the African Union summit in Niamey, Niger July 7, 2019.
AU officials announced the launch of five "operational instruments" of the African Continental Free Trade Area with African nations agreeing to shared "rules of origin, the monitoring and elimination of non-tariff barriers, a unified digital payments system and an African trade observatory dashboard".
The AfCFTA launch was given a boost when Nigeria and Benin's presidents signed on to rapturous applause on Sunday morning.
