As U.S. tariffs reduce its trade competitiveness, especially in the textile and cattle industries, Botswana is aggressively looking for other export markets. The tariffs have significantly decreased Botswanas access to the U.S. market under AGOA and are a component of President Trumps larger protectionist agenda. Using the African Continental Free Trade Area AfCFTA, Trade Minister Mmusi Kgafela revealed plans to shift focus to Asia, the Middle East, and intraAfrican trade. In order to diversify its economy, Botswana also hopes to increase valueadded exports and draw in international capital. Authorities caution that sustained tariff pressure may have an effect on GDP growth and employment. In light of changing global trade dynamics, the government is speeding up trade missions and bilateral discussions in an effort to find new customers and lessen dependency on conventional Western markets.

Bank of Canada Slashes Rate to 2.5% as Tariffs Trigger 1.5% GDP Contraction

In response to the economic pressure caused by President Trumps trade battle, the Bank of Canada lowered its key lending rate to 2.5 percent. With exp

In response to the economic pressure caused by President Trumps trade battle, the Bank of Canada lowered its key lending rate to 2.5 percent. With exports falling 27% as advance U.S. orders waned, Canadas GDP declined 1.5% in the second quarter of 2025. Steel, aluminium, and auto tariffs have had a significant negative impact on tradesensitive industries, leading to job losses and poor hiring. Although some of the effects were mitigated by NAFTA exclusions, the central bank issued a warning about the inflation risks associated with reorganised supply chains. Since March, the rate has been constant at 2.75%, but officials now perceive a worldwide slowdown as a direct result of U.S. protectionism. In the face of mounting pressure on consumer prices, Canada, the first G7 country to start rate decreases last year, is maintaining moderate easing to boost growth. Read More..

Oracle just inked $300 billion in AI contracts, but Moodys has identified vulnerabilities in those deals, pointing to issues with longterm profitability, scalability, and execution.

The ratings agency noted Oracles strong market position and potential upside if deployments are successful, despite the warning.
