Abstract

Recent years have seen a proliferation of regional economic blocs across Africa aimed at fostering integration and development. A qualitative analysis is employed to assess the impact of existing regional economic blocs within Ghanaian context, focusing on their contribution to intra-regional trade and investment flows.

Recommendations include strengthening governance structures within existing blocs, fostering greater collaboration among member states, and exploring new mechanisms to promote sustainable growth in Africa’s economies.
