Tax policy considerations for new trade routes in Africa

Historical economic growth in Africa has partly been attributed to increased levels of FDI resulting from improvements to regulatory reforms, fiscal policies, and governance.  Now more than before, African economies are pushing to diversify from a commodity bias, take advantage of the vast continental market and demography to get more integrated into Global Value Chains and construct a new narrative of economic development and growth.

Our panel will discuss the tax policy considerations for this changing economic landscape and whether African tax regimes can serve the dual role of remaining competitive in attracting FDI and strengthening regional economic integration and trade.
