Geographic

Lesotho occupies a unique geographic position reasonably centrally located within Southern Africa and with good access to some of the fastest growing industrial and economic areas in the region such as Johannesburg and Pretoria. It is also within reasonable proximity to international ports such as Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. This combined with the efforts of the Government of Lesotho to create a good enabling environment for business, makes the country an attractive destination for foreign investment.

Trade and investment is boosted by amongst others Lesotho's membership to two regional bodies, SACU and the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Lesotho is also part of other economic agreements outside the region like EU's Everything But Arms and USA's African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
