UK-Nigeria ETIP deal set to boost bilateral trade relations: The UK and Nigeria have created a new Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership (ETIP) that is set to boost trade with mutual provisions and export opportunities for the legal sector.
The African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) is a landmark piece of trade legislation enacted by the United States in 2000. Its goal is to promote economic growth, development and poverty reduction in sub-Saharan Africa by providing qualifying countries with duty-free access to the US market for over 6,500 products. By eliminating import tariffs and quotas, Agoa aims to stimulate trade, attract foreign investment and foster economic integration between the US and African nations. #Yoopya #Business #Yoopyavip #Economie #Yoopyamail #Africa

It’s the first such deal struck between the UK and an African country. While the agreement won’t entail substantive changes in regulation or market access, it will establish working groups staffed by government officials and private sector representatives, which Britain hopes will lead to the removal of trade barriers, boost investment and “unlock opportunities” for the UK’s dominant services sector, according to Badenoch’s department... #uk #nigeria #tradebarrier #businessday https://lnkd.in/d-ng2xDm
