Togo and Senegal’s bilateral trade boosted by the economic and business days

(Togo First) - Spurred by the economic and business exchanges (whose second edition has just ended in Lomé), trade between Togo and Senegal has been significantly boosted.

Before the business days, trade between our countries was estimated at $3-4 billion. Now, it is $8 billion”, says Daouda Thiam, president of Senegal’s chamber of commerce, agriculture and industry. So, since the first edition, trade between the two countries has doubled.

According to some participants of the event’s second edition, it helped them build partnerships for commercial representations in both countries. Others said they sold well at the event and identified many business opportunities.

In view of the positive evolution of the bilateral trade, the event’s promoters expect that it will reach $10 billion by 2019.

Let’s note that the third edition of the economic and business days between Togo and Senegal will be held in 2019, in Dakar.
