This isn't a uniquely local rebound — global trade recovered broadly in 2021 as pandemic-era restrictions eased and demand returned.
Middle Africa (excluding intra-trade)'s number here, like most in this category, is built from a mix of direct measurement and statistical modeling — reliable for tracking direction, less reliable for pinning down an exact year-to-year figure.
