AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

SADC Trade Push: Eswatini and 15 SADC partners are moving to simplify border procedures under the SADC Simplified Trade Regime, aiming to cut costs and ease cross-border commerce for small-scale traders by using simpler customs steps and relaxed certificate-of-origin rules. The plan was discussed at a Lusaka policy forum (Aug 4–5) with parliamentarians, revenue officials and trader representatives, focusing on practical border-post bottlenecks like capacity gaps. Seychelles in the Regional Mix: The SADC STR includes Seychelles, placing the island in the wider push to reduce non-tariff barriers and support more inclusive industrialisation across the bloc. Visa and Mobility Signals: Trinidad and Tobago announced visa-free access for Sierra Leoneans and several African countries including Seychelles, while Chad plans visa-free entry for all African citizens from Jan 1, 2027—both moves that could boost travel and people-to-people links. Local Business Regulation: Seychelles-based broker Elev8 secured a Securities Dealer Licence from the Financial Services Authority, strengthening its compliance and governance credentials as it expands its licence portfolio.
