Intra-regional trade is set
to increase dramatically in
the next few years as Africa
commits to trading within the
continent more than ever before.
And it’s critical if the
continent is to compete on an
international scale, in the view
of Michael Henning, general
manager of Easyclear.
“The formation of the
African Bank with the BRICS
initiative is one that should
impact positively on the trade
environment over the long
term,” he told FTW. “A steady
increase in volumes is being
forecast based primarily
on feedback from agents at
the various borders who are
reporting an increase in their
volumes and a positive outlook
for 2017.”
He said with Easyclear
having developed modules and
solutions designed primarily
for cross-border clearances, the
company was positioning itself
to service this growing sector.
“Our regional branch offices
offer support to logistics
companies who require
solutions for the cross-border
aspects of the logistics supply
chain.”
