Further, we note that the RECS’ major export destinations are the EU and USA, which constitute an average of 57 per cent of the exports of the African RECs. For some RECs, the EU and USA comprise more than 60 per cent of their export markets (see table). For RECs such as IOC and UMA, about 80 per cent of their exports were destined, between 2000 and 2008, for the EU and USA markets. Asia, and China in particular are important export markets for the RECs. Table: Direction of African RECs’ exports to African and non-African countries in US$ millions, average between 2000 and 2008

However, it is interesting to observe that within CEPGL (Economic Community of the Great Lakes Countries); Africa was a significant source of imports to the community, representing about 42 per cent of the total imports. About a fourth of imports by UEMOA also came from Africa. But for the rest of the RECs, the EU continues to be a major source of imports. This is shown in table 4.2 below.
