币界网报道:China has removed tariffs on 98% of taxable items from several African nations, including Nigeria, in a move to strengthen trade ties. The tariff-free policy covers over 8,800 products, aiming to boost African exports to China and support economic growth in participating countries. This initiative follows China's broader strategy to expand its influence in Africa through trade and investment, with bilateral trade reaching $282 billion in 2022. Analysts suggest the policy could particularly benefit Nigeria's agricultural and manufacturing sectors, though challenges like infrastructure gaps may limit immediate gains. The measure is part of China's effort to position itself as a key partner in Africa's development.
