UNCTAD
UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT
Africa is among the least diversied regions in the world with regard to exports. Commodities
account for more than 60 per cent of total merchandise exports in 45 of the 54 countries in Africa,
leaving them highly vulnerable to global commodity price shocks and undermining the continent’s
inclusive growth and development prospects. Economic Development in Africa Report 2022 shows
that neglecting the potentially transformative role of high knowledge-intensive services, such as
information and communications technology services and nancial services, is among the key reasons
why export diversication remains a challenge in Africa. The report shows that effectively addressing
barriers to services trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area will be key to unleashing
the transformative role of services in enhancing the diversity and complexity of products from Africa.
UNCTAD recommends that for export diversication strategies to be impactful in Africa, policies need to
be in place that enhance inclusive access to innovative nancing technologies, including for small and
medium-sized enterprises. Leveraging high knowledge-intensive services to increase productivity and
improve competitiveness in the private sector will be key to achieving higher value-added diversication
and growth under the African Continental Free Trade Area.

“Economic Development in Africa
Report 2022 serves Africa’s effective
integration into high-end global value
chains, a key objective for its long-term
sustainable development. The African
Continental Free Trade Area, which this
report analyses in depth, can help foster
the growth of a highly competitive,
technology-intensive services sector
in Africa and thereby drive export
diversication. In addition, our report
shows how, by addressing barriers to trade
in services, boosting relevant skills and
improving access to innovative alternative
nancing, the region’s manufacturing
productivity can be enhanced, driving
Africa’s economic growth and structural
transformation for many years to come.”
Ms. Rebeca Grynspan,
Secretary-General of the United Nations
Conference on Trade and Development
“As African countries work to rebuild their
economies post COVID-19, Economic
Development in Africa Report 2022
brings a new perspective on how the
services sector contributes to export
diversication and promotes structural
change. The report shows how efcient,
cost-effective supply of services, including
nancial services, can be decisive in
the overall diversication process that
African countries should prioritize to
promote productivity, export growth and
sustainable development, and increase
greater resilience against future shocks.
The implementation of the African
Continental Free Trade Area Agreement
is key to unlocking new opportunities for
industrialization and export development.”
