It begins by outlining the general context of Benin’s economy and trade policy, as well as the main regional and international integration arrangements in which the country participates. It then examines Benin’s trade relations with Africa, with particular attention to the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
