What the End of AGOA Means for Africa and the World? – The African Economic Review 2025#44

The African Economy Review explores the post-AGOA reality and what
it means for Africa’s trade and global business.

When the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) expired in
September 2025, it marked the end of 25 years of preferential
access to the U.S. market. This episode analyses what comes next
for African economies: higher tariffs, disrupted supply chains, job
losses, and the urgent need for new partnerships.

Host Gabriel Wekesa unpacks the data behind this transition – from
Kenya’s textile sector and Lesotho’s apparel industry to South
Africa’s automotive exports. He also examines how the African
Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the European Union could
shape the continent’s new trade future.
