The East African Community (EAC) has recorded subdued growth in trade among its members, weighed down by persistent non-tariff barriers (NTBs), with attention now shifting to trade with global peers.
The EAC Trade and Investment Report 2023 shows the growth rate in the total intra-EAC trade decreased slightly by 0.3 percentage points (30 basis points) to 10.9 percent in 2023 from 11.2 percent in 2022.
