Job Title: Executive Secretary of COMESA Clearing House
The Preferential Trade Area (PTA), COMESA’s predecessor, set up a Clearing House in 1984 to facilitate trade by the use of national local currencies in the settlement of payments for trade conducted among the member States, thereby economising on the use of scarce foreign exchange resources in such trade. With the liberalisation of the foreign exchange market, however, cross-border payment in national currencies through the respective Central Bank could no longer be sustained.
