ECIC @ Manufacturing Indaba 2022
Manufacturing activities boost the value generated in an economy by creating activity further along value chains, from raw materials to finished products. African governments have recognised that a resilient manufacturing sector paves the way for a nation to provide a quality standard of living for its citizens.
Supporting the growth of manufacturing in Africa, ECIC was a proud Silver Sponsor at the 9th edition of the Manufacturing Indaba hosted from 21 – 22 June 2022 at the Sandton Convention Centre.
The implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA) can develop regional value chains and accelerate productive transformation if African entities can harness digital innovations to reduce production costs and leaders can create policies for skills development, public procurement, and foreign investment to further reinforce industrial linkages.
ECIC Senior Economist, Sindiso Ndlovu participated in a panel discussion on the topic: ‘Financing the economic recovery – Critical constraints and opportunities for public and private sector financing of the industrial economy’.
