Investment protection under the AfCFTA

The African Continental Free Trade Area aims to increase intra-African trade and transform the economies on the African continent. With trade comes investment and the first question that investors should be asking when taking the plunge and committing to an investment in a foreign state is how that investment will be treated. In this podcast Webber Wentzel partners Sarah McKenzie, Vlad Movshovich and guests Tunde Fagbohunlu, head of the Litigation, Arbitration and ADR at Aluko & Oyebode and Roland Ziadé, Global Co-Head of International Arbitration at Linklaters, discuss the investment protection regime under the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, what we can anticipate in the protocol that is currently being negotiated and the importance of this document for intra-African investments.
