The Africa Export Competitiveness Report 2025 presents the third edition of the Africa Export Competitiveness (AEC) Index, assessing export competitiveness across 44 African countries. The report examines Africa's export performance within a rapidly changing global environment characterised by geopolitical tensions, shifting supply chains, digital transformation, and evolving environmental standards. It analyses export competitiveness through four dimensions: Enabling Environment, Demand Sophistication, Business Dynamism, and Export Performance. The publication highlights the gap between export policy frameworks and actual export performance, explores the implementation challenges of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), and provides detailed case studies of Egypt and Mauritius. The report offers policy recommendations aimed at strengthening productive capabilities, export diversification, value addition, and Africa's participation in regional and global markets.
