Africa's Silk Road examines the different facets of China and India's South-South commerce with Africa. The increasing commercial exchange between Asia and Africa is about far more than natural resources. The book assesses how these new trade flows are opening the way for Africa to become not only a processor of commodities, but also a competitive supplier of goods and services in the global economy. The authors also look into significant imbalances in these emerging commercial relationships. They suggest a series of reforms to address these, such as the elimination of China and India's escalating tariffs on Africa's leading exports, and elimination of Africa's tariffs on certain inputs that make exports uncompetitive; improvements in trade facilitation mechanisms to decrease transactions costs; and reforms that leverage linkages between investment and trade. These reforms would allow African businesses to participate in global production networks that investment by Chinese and Indian firms can generate.
