The East African Community (EAC) has called on partner states to expedite the implementation of the Digital Single Market, emphasizing that integrated digital systems will enhance regional trade, reduce transaction costs, and improve service delivery for over 330 million people. This statement was made during the opening of the Digital for Development (D4D) Forum 2026 in Arusha.

The East African Community (EAC) has outlined its new budget of $110.8 million, focusing on trade, monetary union, and peace. Key priorities include accelerating the East African Monetary Union by harmonizing fiscal and monetary policies, operationalizing the East African Monetary Institute, and integrating regional payment systems.

The East African Community (EAC) is set to host the 26th Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Trade Fair in Kigali in late October. This year's event will focus on the leather and horticulture sectors, which are considered vital for the region's industrial development and strengthening local supply chains, according to The Independent.
