Last update: 10 hours ago

US Trade: Washington plans to remove Rwanda from AGOA, ending duty-free access to the US market for thousands of products from January 1, 2027. The US cited concerns including trade barriers, workers’ rights and the rule of law; Rwanda has not publicly responded in the reports provided. AGOA is renewed through 2028, but eligibility is reviewed annually. Sustainable Cooling: Kigali is hosting the Montreal Protocol’s 38th Meeting of the Parties, where delegates are discussing financing, technology and skills to support the Kigali Amendment’s phase-down of climate-warming refrigerants. Manufacturing: A report highlights Qatari firm DSP’s plan to make Rwanda a regional manufacturing hub, as local industries look to expand into international markets.
