Version 0.22 (2024-07-29 07:07:54.286000)
updates: The United States government hosted trade ministers from sub-Saharan Africa for the annual African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Forum from July 24 to 26. President Joe Biden called on Congress to reauthorize and modernize AGOA, which is set to expire in 2025. The United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Katherine Tai, acknowledged the collaborative efforts of the African Union and African finance ministers. The Biden-Harris Administration aims to deepen trade and strengthen economic cooperation with Africa. AGOA is working closely with the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat and on a bilateral basis with countries like Kenya and South Africa. The AGOA Forum discussed using AGOA to drive inclusive and sustainable economic development, modernizing the program, and creating stronger high-standard investment opportunities. AGOA provides duty-free access to the US market for nearly 2,000 products from eligible countries, and US imports under AGOA topped $9.7 billion last year. The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to working on new challenges and opportunities for continued success in US-Africa trade. South Africa's trade with the US is set to benefit from the extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) until 2025. The AGOA extension will provide South African exporters with continued duty-free access to the US market, boosting trade and investment between the two countries. The extension of AGOA comes after negotiations between South Africa and the US, and it is expected to support job creation and economic growth in South Africa [570e523e].
