In an exclusive conversation with BBC Focus on Africa, the WTO Director-General, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, breaks down how rising energy prices could impact households, why Africa may be less exposed to major power rivalries, and why the continent’s 1.4 billion people could become one of the world’s most powerful markets.

Africa is beautiful ♥️♥️♥️
Lord, give wisdom to leaders and protection to households facing uncertainty. Amen.
The AU is weak and there are a lot of wars and conflicts ongoing. We have the terror in West African Countries, we have war in Sudan, Congo, South Sudan and maybe soon again in Ethiopia. We have dictatorship in Egypt, Eritrea, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda …
Africa IS China😂
She is wrong, one primary commodity we depend on is refined oil/petrol and that is major factor would trigger systemic shock for Africa economy once crude oil price goes up or down.
A market without money is not a market, it's just people who want and need stuff they can't afford
Africa will be the future for global south .
Africa needs infrastructure and skills development
Africa is the real Powerhouse….. Africa continental trade first and produce ur raw materials at home… build a very strong relationship and security system in Africa.
We can barely trade with each other, we are dependent on the west. Its very expensive to travel within Africa. We can trade within Africa and be ok.
… but Africa also has the bad luck of endless civil wars, festering tribal wars and constant revolutions, they only talk with the gun…
We need one currency or 4 currencies for each seperate organisation like SADC, ECOWAS. We wont borrow so much. Useless leaders.
African leaders are the worst because many of them don't have a good thinking force.
Africa can be a good market for Africans we can integrate the continent, remove borders and unify the currency.
Let's delink from the rest of the world. Focus trade amongst ourselves. That will force infrastructure development
She’s trying really hard to act like Africa is thriving when it’s been in shambles for centuries 😂
Get the phones off our young ones and make them focus on being productive members of society in every industry where we need to grow, instead of sitting on social media exposing themselves or thinking being a content creator is the only thing that would sustain societies in the future
Unfortunately the USA does not do fair trade. It is always a master-servant relationship. The wealth of the West requires the poverty of Africa. Thank you for your services but I think your optimism is unsupported.
Corrupt
Africa has 1.5 Billion.
Africa is dependent on china especially Nigeria
Beautiful! NICE to see AFRICA GROWING 💗
6 percent exports and 4 % imports! That's a good start!
