ECA Report Urges African Countries to Harmonize Trade and Transport Regulations in the Fight against COVID-19

Economic Commission for Africa’s Executive Secretary, Vera Songwe, has called on China to honor the pledge made by President Xi Jinping on his country’s participation in the G20 Debt Service Suspension Initiative (DSSI), which she said, “would go a long way towards supporting Africa’s liquidity needs during this difficult time.” Speaking at a webinar co-organized by the Chinese Mission to the African Union and the ECA, Ms. Songwe emphasized the need for fiscal space for governments, which she noted is critical for an effective COVID-19 response, as well as job creation through the use of ICT and trade.
