The textiles industry in Swaziland after the Multi-fibre agreement phase–out
Abstract
This paper examines the textile and clothing (T&C) industry in Swaziland to ascertain the initial effects of the end of quotas and other restrictions
on global trade in textile and clothing. Results show a dramatic decline in Swazi’s T&C exports, both in value terms and export share in major
markets in industrialised countries: the U.S. and the EU in the aftermath of the Agreement on Textile and Clothing (ATC).
