SACU Investment Roundtable
SACU convened its first-ever Investment Roundtable on 12-13 April 2022 in Gaborone, Botswana. The event brought together SACU’s Ministers of Trade and Industry, Private Sector, Development Finance Institutions, Senior Government Representatives as well as Regional and International Organisations. This important event was premised on SACU’s ambition of fast-tracking its industrialisation agenda across the region through the development of regional value chains and to position SACU to take full advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA). A key highlight of the Roundtable was the showcasing and highlighting of investment and export opportunities in the priority sectors in the region.
Trade Agreements
Part 5 of the SACU Agreement, 2002 (as amended in 2013), provides for Trade Liberalisation. Article 31 on Trade Relations with Third Parties establishes a framework that facilitates the region's integration into the global economy, fostering increased trade and participation in global value chains. SACU Member States have pursued a unified approach to negotiations with third parties. Since 2002, Member States have concluded several trade negotiations as a bloc with some key trading partners.
