Description

Stephen Grootes speaks to Dr Azar Jammine, Director and Chief Economist at Econometrix, and Donald MacKay, Director at XA International Trade Advisors, about South Africa’s fight to remain part of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), the trade pact that gives local exporters duty-free access to the US. With billions in exports and thousands of jobs on the line, they unpack the risks, the politics, and whether the government's assurance that “we haven’t given up on AGOA” is enough to secure the country’s place.

In other interviews,  Dr Kingsley Makhubela, Risk Analyst and Former Diplomat, talks about Taiwan’s decision to suspend curbs on chip exports to South Africa after just two days, what triggered the move, and the diplomatic and trade implications for Pretoria.
