This study leverages panel data models and fixed-effects models to assess the impact of ICT on China-Africa bilateral trade and the economic growth of African countries from 2005 to 2022. These methodologies account for unobserved heterogeneity, offering a robust analysis of ICT's influence on economic outcomes. The findings reveal that ICT significantly bolsters trade between China and Africa and positively influences African economic growth, particularly through fixed-line and mobile telephony. The strategic deployment of ICT provides African nations with opportunities to leapfrog developmental hurdles and integrate seamlessly into the global digital economy. The study's results imply that ICT is not only a facilitator of trade but also a catalyst for economic advancement across the continent. Despite the positive outcomes, the research acknowledges limitations due to the cross-sectional data and suggests that future studies employ longitudinal data for a more in-depth analysis.
