Ficci Urges Broader India-Africa Trade Framework to Enhance Economic Ties
Industry chamber Ficci has urged India and Africa to develop a broader, more predictable trade framework to enhance economic cooperation, investment, and market access. With bilateral trade reaching $93.6 billion in 2025-26 and exports growing by over 6%, Ficci highlights the potential to address trade barriers and strengthen value chains. These calls coincide with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal's upcoming visit to Egypt, aiming to boost ties and explore new business opportunities between the regions.
