Agoa exclusion expected to knock confidence not growth as other US tariffs lessen sting

The announcement by the US government of its intention to exclude South Africa as a beneficiary of the African Growth and Opportunity Act as from January 1, 2027, is not expected to affect South Africa’s growth outlook, with exports under the scheme representing about 1% of South Africa’s total trade. However, in response to the announcement, Business Unity South Africa warned that business sentiment could “take a knock”. BUSA CEO Khulekani Mathe joined Trade, Industry and Competition Minister Parks Tau in emphasising that the loss of Agoa eligibility did not represent the loss of the US as a trade partner. With Tau also stressing that Agoa did “not constitute the totality of the economic relationship between South Africa and the US”. In a statement following confirmation by US Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer that South Africa’s Agoa eligibility would be terminated, Tau noted that bilateral trade stood at $28.8-billion in 2025, when 89% of South African exports entered under World Trade Organisation most favoured nation terms.
