Eswatini AGOA trade benefits renewed for 2025
- Eswatini has secured continued eligibility for benefits under the U.S. African Growth and Opportunity Act for 2025, confirmed by U.S. Trade Representative spokesman Sam Michel in late December.
- Eswatini was previously excluded from AGOA in 2015 due to failures in democratization and human rights, impacting its economy and resulting in job losses.
- Political analyst Sibusiso Nhlabatsi criticized the renewal of AGOA benefits, stating it ignores Eswatini's unfulfilled commitments amid ongoing political instability.
- Eswatini's government spokesperson Alpheous Nxumalo reaffirmed the country's commitment to comply with all AGOA requirements and maintain strong ties with the U.S. Government.
