He said the adoption of regional trade and investment protocols reflected the secretariat’s intention to align member nations’ trade policies.
Mr Mene was speaking at the 13th Ghana Economic Forum held in Accra and hosted by the Business and Financial Times.
The forum was on the theme: “Unlocking opportunities and re-engineering Ghana’s economic model for sustainable development.”
“We now have protocols for trading goods, competition, investment, and intellectual property,” he said.
He said other protocols included the Protocol on Dispute Settlement, which would resolve trade and investment disputes among member nations.
